ET GeoWizards Toolbox
Point Distance
(Go to the main page of the
function)
Calculates the distance for each point of a point dataset to the closest feature from another dataset (Point, Polyline or Polygon)
Command line syntax
ET_GPPointDistance <input_dataset> <Reference_dataset> <out_feature class> <search_tolerance> {calc_spatial_reference}
Parameters
| Expression | Explanation |
|---|---|
| <input_dataset> | A Point feature class or feature layer |
| <Reference_dataset> | A
Point,Polyline or Polygon feature class or feature layer. NOTE: The <Reference_dataset> and the <input_dataset> can be the same point dataset. In this case to each point will be assigned the distance to the closest point from the same dataset. |
| <out_feature class> | A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist) |
| <search_tolerance> | A Double representing the Search tolerance (in the units of the calc_spatial_reference) to be used |
| {calc_spatial_reference} | The
spatial reference in which the calculations will be performed. If not
specified the spatial reference of the input dataset will be used. NOTE: The spatial references of the <input_dataset>, <Reference_dataset> and {calc_spatial_reference} must have the same Geographic Coordinate System |
