      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.datamanagementtools.FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon

extends AbstractGPTool

Creates polygons from the envelopes of each feature in the input feature class. An envelope is a rectangular area that covers a feature's geometry. The Feature Envelope to Polygon tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: ArcInfo only

Illustration:

Usage tips:

• Valid inputs are line, polygon, and annotation feature classes.
• When the envelope of a feature is an invalid polygon (height or width is zero), no polygon will not be written to the output.
• The multipart parameter will have no effect on the result when the input is a singlepart feature.
• Learn more about spatial reference and geoprocessing;
• The following environment settings affect this tool: Coordinate system; Extent; XY Tolerance; Z Tolerance; M Tolerance; XY Resolution; Z Resolution; M Resolution; Output XY domain; Output Z domain; Output M domain; Output has M values; Output has Z values; Default Z value; Configuration keyword; Output Spatial Grid;

Constructor Detail

FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon

public FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon()

Creates the Feature Envelope to Polygon tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon

public FeatureEnvelopeToPolygon(java.lang.Object inFeatures,
                                java.lang.Object outFeatureClass)

Creates the Feature Envelope to Polygon tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inFeatures - Feature Layer, the features whose envelopes will be converted to polygon features.

outFeatureClass - Feature Class, the feature class that will contain the polygons.

Method Detail

getInFeatures
