All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class ContourList
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates contours or isolines based on a list of contour values. The Contour List tool is contained in the Spatial Analyst Tools tool box.

Software restrictions: none

Usage tips:

• Contours do not extend beyond the spatial extent of the raster, and they are not generated in areas of NoData. Therefore, adjacent contour inputs should first be edgematched into a continuous feature dataset. As an alternative to edgematching, you can merge the adjacent rasters before computing contours.
• Contours can be generated in areas of negative raster values. The contour values will be negative in such areas.
• The contour values do not need to be sorted in order.
• Smoother but less accurate contours can be obtained by first performing a Neighborhood Focal Statistics operation with the Mean option on the input raster.
• The following environment settings affect this tool:
