Builds Thiessen Polygons from a feature layer

Syntax    

Dim ET As  New ETGW_Core
Set variable = ET.BuildThiessen(pInFeatureClass, sOutFileName, bUseBufferedConvexHull, dBufDist,bTransferAttributes)

The BuildThiessen method syntax has the following object qualifier and arguments:

Part Description
variable An IFeatureClass object
pInFeatureClass Required. An IFeatureClass object (Point, Polyline or Polygon)
sOutFileName Required. A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
bUseBufferedConvexHull Required. A Boolean indicating whether the output will be restricted to the convex hull of the input features (False) or will be extended with the specified buffer distance (True)
dBufDist Required. A Double setting the the distance with which the convex hull of all the features will be buffered (in the units of the input dataset) to be used if the bUseBufferedConvexHull = True. If bUseBufferedConvexHull = False this parameter is ignored
bTransferAttributes Required. A Boolean indicating whether the attributes of the original features will be transferred to the resulting thiessen polygons
