ATtILA for ArcGIS Pro is an Esri ArcGIS toolbox that allows users to easily calculate many common landscape metrics. GIS expertise is not required, but some experience with ArcGIS is recommended. Three metric groups (toolsets) are currently included in ATtILA: Landscape Characteristics, People in the Landscape, and Riparian Characteristics, along with a Utilities section. ATtILA for ArcGIS Pro is written using the Python programming language and is designed to accommodate spatial data from a variety of sources.

Python code for ATtILA was written by Don Ebert (EPA), Michael Jackson (former EPA), Baohong Ji (former Woolpert), and Torrin Hultgren (GDIT), with special assistance from Ellen D'Amico (EPA), and Doug Browning (former EPA Student Services Contractor).
David Gottlieb (former EPA Student Services Contractor) wrote the code for the Land Cover Coding Editor.
The original ATtILA ArcView extension tool was written in Avenue code by Don Ebert (EPA) and Tim Wade (former EPA) with assistance from Dennis Yankee (Tennessee Valley Authority, Public Power Institute) who wrote code for the PCTIA_RD metric.
