Summary
Defines a list of line feature classes of stream locations.
Discussion
This object is used in the tool Topo To Raster.
All lines must be oriented to point downstream.
The feature class should only contain single line streams.
To display the direction of the line sections, change the symbology to include an arrow at the end. This will draw the line sections with an arrow symbol showing the line directions.
Syntax
TopoStream (inFeatures)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |

Code sample
Demonstrates how to create a TopoStream class and use it in the TopoToRaster tool within the Python window.
