Parameters

Expression Explanation
Function Name PolygonsToPoints
<input dataset> A String representing the input layer. Must be of Polygon type.
<output dataset> A String - the full name of the output layer.
<Option> A String - the convertion option. Valid values.
  • "Vertex"
  • "Center"
  • "Label"
  • "CenterIn"
{Remove Duplicates} A Boolean indicating whether the duplicate points are to be removed from the output. Used only for "Vertex" option.
{Calculate Position} A Boolean indicating whether the position of the points along the polygon boundary to be calculated. Used only for "Vertex" option.
{Keep Z} A Boolean indicating whether if the input has Z values to keep them in the output.
{Keep M} A Boolean indicating whether if the input has M values to keep them in the output.

Running the function

ETGWPath used in the table below is the  full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETGeo Wizards\ETGWRun.exe")

Language Syntax
Python subprocess.call([ETGWPath, "PolygonsToPoints", "input dataset", "output dataset", "Option", "Remove Duplicates", "Calculate Position", "Keep Z", "Keep M"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath
StartInfo.Arguments = "PolygonsToPoints" "input dataset" "output dataset" "Option" "Remove Duplicates" "Calculate Position" "Keep Z" "Keep M"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll PolygonsToPoints(input dataset, output dataset, Option, Remove Duplicates, Calculate Position, Keep Z, Keep M)
ArcPy arcpy.PolygonsToPoints(input dataset, output dataset,"Option", "Remove Duplicates", "Calculate Position", "Keep Z", "Keep M")
