BIT2POLY

Description

BIT2POLY creates a whole polygon layer from a bitmap segment.

Parameters

Name	Type	Length	Value range
Input: Input bitmap segment *	Bitmap port	1 - 1
Output: Output vector segment *	Vector port	1 - 1
Smooth vectors	String	0 - 1	YES | NO Default: YES

* Required parameter

Parameter descriptions

Input: Input bitmap segment

Specifies the bitmap segment in the input file from which polygons are constructed.

Output: Output vector segment

Specifies the output file to receive the polygons.

Smooth vectors

Specifies whether or not the vector data will be smoothed (corners rounded).

If the Smooth vectors check box is selected, the polygon boundaries will be smoothed. If the check box is cleared, the created polygons will follow the pixel edges exactly.

Details

BIT2POLY creates a whole polygon layer from an input bitmap segment. Each contiguous region of on pixels (i.e. values of 1) will be grouped together into a single polygon. Only pixels with a value of 1 in the input bitmap result in polygons in the output.

The default output vector description is "Polygon Layer".
