LINE2POLY

Description

LINE2POLY generates a whole polygon vector layer given an input line vector layer. The input lines must connect in such a way to close a region for a polygon to be created there.

Parameters

Name	Type	Length	Value range
Input: Input line layer *	Vector port	1 - 1
Output: Output polygon layer *	Vector port	1 - 1
Use current selection (Focus only)	Boolean	0 - 1	TRUE | FALSE Default: FALSE

* Required parameter

Parameter descriptions

Input: Input line layer

Specifies the vector segment containing the the lines to be converted to polygons.

Output: Output polygon layer

Specifies the output file to receive the polygons.

Use current selection (Focus only)

Allows you to restrict processing to only the selected shapes from the current view in CATALYST Professional Focus. The default value is FALSE so all shapes are processed.

Details

LINE2POLY is used to create a whole polygon layer given a vector line layer. To create any polygons the lines must either close on themselves (i.e. the last vertex coincides with the first vertex) or multiple lines must connect together to form a closed region. All other input shapes will be ignored. The input layer (DBVS) should not be a topo area, point or table layer. If polygons cannot be formed from the input lines, consider using VECCLEAN instead.
