| <out_feature class> | A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist) |
| <polygonID_field> | A String - the name (Case sensitive) of the field which values will indicate the points used to form a single polygon. |
| {use_order} | A Boolean indicating whether the order in which the points describe the polygon will be taken from a field in the attribute table |
