Points To PolygonsZM
(Go to the main page of the
function)
Converts a point data set to a polygon Z (M) feature class
Command line syntax
ET_GPPointToPolygonZM <input_dataset> <out_feature class> <ZM_value_field> <Z | M> <polygonID_field> {use_order} {order_field} {link_field}
Parameters
| Expression | Explanation |
|---|---|
| <input_dataset> | A Point 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) |
| <ZM_value_field> | A String - the name (Case sensitive) of a Numeric (integer or double) field which values will be used for assigning Z(M) values to the output points |
| <Z | M> | Convert
Option. A String - indicates the type of the output points. The
available options are (Case sensitive):
|
| <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 |
| {order_field} | A String - the name (Case sensitive) of a Numeric (integer or double) field which values will indicate the order in which the points describe the polygons. This is ignored (can be set to any string) if {use_order} is False |
| {link_field} | A String - the name of a field to be used as a link between the input points and the output. The values for the first and last point that will form a single polyline will be added to the polyline attribute table. |
