Polyline To Polygon

Converts closed polylines (and polyline chains) to polygons

Inputs:

Outputs:

Notes :

All closed polylines will be converted to polygons.
The attributes of the polylines will be transferred to the corresponding polygon features.
If the "Use closed polyline chains" option is used, the polylines that form closed chains will be used to create polygons. The attributes of the first polyline of the chain will be transferred to the polygon feature
For advanced polygon creation use the Build Polygon function

Example:

Source Polyline Layer	Result Polygon Layer (no polyline chains used)	Result Polygon Layer (closed polyline chains used)	Result Polygon Layer (Build Polygon Wizard)

Command line syntax

ET_GPPolylineToPolygon <input_dataset> <out_feature_class> {force_closure} {tolerance}

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<input_dataset>	A Polygon 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)
{force_closure}	A Boolean indicating whether the non closed polylines must be closed and converted to polygons.
{tolerance}	A Double setting the tolerance (in the units of the input dataset) to be used if the force_closure = True. If force_closure = False this parameter is ignored. Open polylines which end points are closer to each other than this tolerance will be closed and converted to polygons

Scripting syntax

ET_GPPolylineToPolygon (input_dataset , out_feature_class, force_closure, tolerance)
