Clean Points

Removes the duplicate points from a point feature data set.

New Point dataset
- Each set of duplicate points (that have exactly the same location) will be replaced by a single point. This point will carry the attributes of one of the original points.

Optional Point dataset that identifies the duplicates in the input data set.
- The attribute table of the duplicates feature class has all the fields from the input data set.
- The attributes of the points are these that have not been preserved in the clean feature class. Example:. If two points with attributes "A" and "B" have exactly the same location. The clean feature class will contain only one of them e.g. "A". The duplicates feature class will contain the other one -"B"

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	CleanPoints
<input dataset>	A String representing the input layer. Must be of Polygon type.
<output dataset>	A String - the full name of the output layer.
{Duplicates Dataset}	A String - the full name of the output dataset that identifies the points removed as duplicates. (A dataset with the same full name should not exist) .

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, "CleanPoints", "input dataset", "output dataset", "Duplicates Dataset"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath StartInfo.Arguments = "CleanPoints" "input dataset" "output dataset" "Duplicates Dataset"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll	CleanPoints(input dataset, output dataset, Duplicates Dataset)
ArcPy	arcpy.CleanPoints(input dataset, "output dataset" , "Duplicates Dataset")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
