cleanContourGaps

Cleans the gaps in a polyline dataset representing contours.

Inputs:

Outputs:

New polyline feature class. The gaps in the contours that a smaller then the selected tolerance are closed.

Notes:

The function is designed specifically for contours, but it can be used on datasets representing different features.
Always inspect the results before accepting them as valid.

Command line syntax

ET_GPCleanContourGaps <input_dataset> <out_feature_class> <gap_size> <height_field>

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.
<height_field>	A String - the name of the field having the elevation value of the contours.
<gap_size>	A Double - the gaps smaller than this tolerance will be closed. The units of the parameter are in the spatial reference of the input feature class
