Parameter descriptions

Input: Input polygon layer

Specifies the polygon layer containing the vectors for which the point layer will be constructed. The input vector layer can either be whole polygons or topological polygons.

OutputPoints: Output point layer

Specifies the output file to receive the points

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.

Note: This parameter is available only through the Focus Algorithm Librarian.

Details

POLY2PNT creates a point layer by producing an interior point for each polygon of the input layer (either a whole polygon or a topological polygon). The attributes of the polygon layer are copied to the point layer.
