Generalize Polylines
(Go to the main page of the
function)
Generalizes ( reduces the number of vertices required to represent a polyline ) the features of a polyline layer using the Douglas-Poiker algorithm
Command line syntax
ET_GPGeneralize <input_dataset> <out_feature class> <generalize_tolerance>
Parameters
| Expression | Explanation |
|---|---|
| <input_dataset> | A Polyline feature class or feature layer |
| <out_feature class> | A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist) |
| <generalize_tolerance> | A Double representing Generalize tolerance (maximum offset) - the maximum distance that the generalized polyline will differ from the original one |
Scripting syntax
