Class PolygonToLine

java.lang.Object
  com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.AbstractGPTool
      com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.datamanagementtools.PolygonToLine

All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class PolygonToLine
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a new line The Polygon To Line tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: ArcInfo only

Illustration:

Usage tips:

• All input feature classes; and/or feature layers; must be polygon.
• Polygon boundaries are split at nodes in the output line feature class.
• The right and left polygon FIDS are written in the output line feature class. These ID's can be used to associated polygon attributes with each side of a line in the output feature class. The orientation of lines which make up a polygon cannot be controlled. The arcs along the outer boundary of each polygon are always drawn in a clockwise direction. By default, interior or island boundaries are drawn in a counterclockwise direction.
