GPTool

public class PolyRegion
extends AbstractGPTool

This tool only works with an ArcInfo license and will only be available in ArcToolbox if you have installed ArcInfo Workstation. Converts polygons to regions in a one-to-one mapping in a region subclass. Each polygon in the Input Coverage becomes a region in the Output Subclass. Attributes in the polygon attribute table (PAT) are copied to the corresponding region PATsubclass. The Output Coverage can be the same as the Input Coverage; if so, the Output Subclass is then created in the Input Coverage. The Polygon Coverage To Region tool is contained in the Coverage Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: ArcInfo only

Usage tips:

• Polygon Coverage To Region can be used on an Input Coverage that does not have arc topology; however, the Input Coverage must have polygon topology.
• The tool builds region topology for the Output Subclass. Topology in the Input Coverage is maintained in the Output Coverage.
• When the Output Coverage is the same as the Input Coverage, the subclass is created in that coverage.
• When the Output Coverage is not the same as the Input Coverage, a new coverage will be created, and the Input Coverage is copied to the Output Coverage.
• Line Coverage To Route maintains polygon and arc topology in the new Output Coverage if it exists in the Input Coverage.
• The Output Coverage cannot refer to an existing coverage unless it's the Input Coverage.
• Polygon attributes are copied to the region subclass.
• Region subclass names may be from 1 to 13 characters and cannot start with a numeric character.
• The following environments affect this tool: derivedPrecision; newPrecision; projectCompare; scratchWorkspace; , and workspace;

Constructor Detail

PolyRegion

public PolyRegion()

Creates the Polygon Coverage To Region tool with defaults.

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

PolyRegion

public PolyRegion(Object inCover,
                  Object outCover,
                  String outSubclass)

Creates the Polygon Coverage To Region 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:

inCover - Coverage, the polygon coverage to be converted to a region subclass. Each polygon of the is made into a region.

outCover - Coverage, the coverage that will contain the new subclass.

outSubclass - String, the name of the region subclass that will be created.
