CRNEAT

Description

CRNEAT creates a neatline or a series of neatlines. A neatline is often used as an aid to registration for digitizing, as a clipping boundary, or is used to set up a map series (for example, NTS). CRNEAT can create a single neatline or it can create many "tiles" that are based on given extents; for example, for five maps across and five maps down, where each tile is 1000m x 2000m.

Parameter descriptions

InputRaster: Input raster layer

Specifies the input raster layer to be processed.

OutputLayers: Neatline(s): Output neatline(s)

Specifies the name of the file that contains the output neatline vector layer(s).

Input: Input Vector Layer: Input vector segment or layer

Specifies the vector segment or layer that contains projection information that is used for the output file.

Vector Layer Name

Specifies a name (up to 8 characters) for the output vector segment.

Vector Layer Description

Describes (in up to 64 characters) the contents or origins of the vectors.

Vector Type

Specifies the output layer type.

Valid values are Line and Whole Polygon. The default value is Whole Polygon.

Neatline Type

Specifies whether the neatline is geocoded or geographic.

Projection

Specifies the projection and extents. For more information, see Georeferencing Editor (GeoEdit).

Grid Columns

Specifies the number of neatlines in the column direction.

Grid Rows

Specifies the number of neatlines in the row direction.

Report

Specifies where to direct the generated report.

Available options are:

• LOG: generates a report on the terminal (default)
• <modulename.RPT>: appends a report to the module's RPT file
• DISK: generates a report on file "IMPRPT.LST"

Details

If multiple neatlines are created, one new neatline vector segment can be optionally created for each neatline. One neatline is always created with a default of 1 column x 1 row.

Neatline 1-1 is the upper-left corner of a multiple neatline setup. You can specify that a "grid" of neatlines is created (for example, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, and so on, or 2 x 3, 5 x 6, 3 x 6, and so on). Each new multiple neatline is written to a new vector segment in the output file. If the output is to the viewer, all neatlines are dispalyed as separate entries in the tree. Each new multiple neatline has the same projection and datum. The extents for each new multiple neatline is calculated based on the original input extents. For example:

In the western hemisphere, the longitude values decrease as you move east.

You can specify the layer name as part of the input. If you create tiles, the system generates a new layer name each time. If tiles are created, the new layer name is the input layer name plus its column and row position (for example, the default name is CRNEAT for tiles of 2x2 and the output layer names are CRNEAT1-1, CRNEAT2-1, CRNEAT1-2, and CRNEAT2-2. Each neatline has the same description.
