All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class Clip
extends AbstractGPTool

Extracts input features that overlay the clip features. The Clip tool is contained in the Analysis Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: none

Illustration:

Usage tips:

• The Output Feature Class will have the attributes of the Input Features.
• The Clip Features dataset must be polygons.
• When processing datasets that contain any individual feature with a very large number of vertices (e.g., hundreds of thousands to millions of vertices within a single feature), some geometric processing operations may run out of memory. For more details, see Geoprocessing with large datasets;
• Learn more about working with layers and table views;
• Learn more about spatial reference and geoprocessing;
• Learn about priority ranks and geoprocessing tools;
• Learn more about xy tolerance;

Constructor Detail

Clip

public Clip()

Creates the Clip tool with defaults.

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

Clip

public Clip(Object inFeatures,
            Object clipFeatures,
            Object outFeatureClass)

Creates the Clip 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 to be clipped.

clipFeatures - Feature Layer, the features used to clip the input features.

outFeatureClass - Feature Class, the feature class to be created.

Method Detail

getInFeatures

public Object getInFeatures()

Returns the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer, the features to be clipped. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input Features

setInFeatures

public void setInFeatures(Object inFeatures)

Sets the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer, the features to be clipped. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inFeatures - Feature Layer, the features to be clipped.

getClipFeatures

public Object getClipFeatures()

Returns the Clip Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer, the features used to clip the input features. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Clip Features

setClipFeatures

public void setClipFeatures(Object clipFeatures)

Sets the Clip Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Layer, the features used to clip the input features. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

clipFeatures - Feature Layer, the features used to clip the input features.

getOutFeatureClass

public Object getOutFeatureClass()

Returns the Output Feature Class parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Class, the feature class to be created. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Output Feature Class

setOutFeatureClass

public void setOutFeatureClass(Object outFeatureClass)

Sets the Output Feature Class parameter of this tool . This parameter is Feature Class, the feature class to be created. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

outFeatureClass - Feature Class, the feature class to be created.

getClusterTolerance

public Object getClusterTolerance()

Returns the XY Tolerance parameter of this tool . This parameter is Linear unit, the minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). You can set the value to be higher for data that has less coordinate accuracy and lower for datasets with extremely high accuracy. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:

the XY Tolerance

setClusterTolerance

public void setClusterTolerance(Object clusterTolerance)

Sets the XY Tolerance parameter of this tool . This parameter is Linear unit, the minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). You can set the value to be higher for data that has less coordinate accuracy and lower for datasets with extremely high accuracy. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:

clusterTolerance - Linear unit, the minimum distance separating all feature coordinates (nodes and vertices) as well as the distance a coordinate can move in X or Y (or both). You can set the value to be higher for data that has less coordinate accuracy and lower for datasets with extremely high accuracy.
