GA Layer To Contour (Geostatistical Analyst)

Disponible con una licencia de Geostatistical Analyst.

Resumen

Creates a feature class of contours from a geostatistical layer. The output feature class can be either a line feature class of contour lines or a polygon feature class of filled contours.

Uso

  • For data formats that support Null values, such as file geodatabase feature classes, a Null value will be used to indicate that a prediction could not be made for that location or that the value should be ignored when used as input. For data formats that do not support Null values, such as shapefiles, the value of -1.7976931348623158e+308 is used (this is the negative of the C++ defined constant DBL_MAX) to indicate that a prediction could not be made for that location.

  • The output polygon or polyline features will contain slightly different geometry depending on the number of CPU cores of your machine. This is due to a different number of tiles that will be used in the contour algorithm (more cores allow for more tiling and, hence, more refined contours in the output). For reproducible results on machines with different numbers of CPU cores, use the Parallel Processing Factor environment to control the number of cores that the tool is allowed to use.

  • If the Input geostatistical layer represents a 3D interpolation model, you must specify the elevation of the contours that you want to export using the Output elevation parameter.

Parámetros

EtiquetaExplicaciónTipo de datos
Input geostatistical layer

The geostatistical layer to be analyzed.

Geostatistical Layer
Contour type

Type of contour to represent the geostatistical layer.

  • Contour The contour or isoline representation of the geostatistical layer. Displays the lines in either draft or presentation quality.
  • Filled contourThe polygon representation of the geostatistical layer. It assumes for the graphical display that the values between contour lines are the same for all locations within the polygon. Displays the lines in either draft or presentation quality.
  • Same as layerUse the current renderer of the input geostatistical layer.
String
Output feature class

The output feature class will either be a polyline or a polygon, depending on the selected contour type.

Feature Class
Contour quality
(Opcional)

Determines the smoothness of contour line representation.

  • Draft The default Draft quality presents a generalized version of isolines for faster display.
  • PresentationThe Presentation option ensures more detailed isolines for the output feature class.
String
Classification type
(Opcional)

Specifies how the contour breaks will be calculated.

  • Geometric intervalContour breaks are calculated based on geometric intervals.
  • Equal intervalContour breaks are calculated based on equal intervals.
  • QuantileContour breaks are calculated from quantiles of the input data.
  • ManualSpecify your own break values.
String
Number of classes
(Opcional)

Specify the number of classes in the output feature class.

If Contour type is set to output filled contour polygons, the number of polygons created will equal the value specified in this parameter. If it is set to output contour polylines, the number of polylines will be one less than the value specified in this parameter (because N class intervals define N-1 contour break values).

This parameter does not apply if the Classification type is set to Manual.

Long
Class breaks
(Opcional)

The list of break values if the Classification type is set to Manual.

  • For contour output, these are the values of the contour lines.
  • For filled contour, these are the upper limits of each class interval. Note that if the largest break value is less than the maximum of the geostatistical layer, the output feature class will not fill up the entire rectangular extent; all locations with predicted values above the largest break will not receive filled contours.
Double
Output elevation
(Opcional)

For 3D interpolation models, you can export contours at any elevation. Use this parameter to specify the elevation that you want to export. If left empty, the elevation will be inherited from the input layer. The units will default to the same units of the input layer.

Geostatistical Layer
contour_type

Type of contour to represent the geostatistical layer.

  • CONTOUR The contour or isoline representation of the geostatistical layer. Displays the lines in either draft or presentation quality.
  • FILLED_CONTOURThe polygon representation of the geostatistical layer. It assumes for the graphical display that the values between contour lines are the same for all locations within the polygon. Displays the lines in either draft or presentation quality.
  • SAME_AS_LAYERUse the current renderer of the input geostatistical layer.
String

The output feature class will either be a polyline or a polygon, depending on the selected contour type.

  • GEOMETRIC_INTERVALContour breaks are calculated based on geometric intervals.

  • QUANTILEContour breaks are calculated from quantiles of the input data.
  • MANUALSpecify your own break values.
String
classes_count
(Opcional)

Specify the number of classes in the output feature class.

If contour_type is set to output filled contour polygons, the number of polygons created will equal the value specified in this parameter. If it is set to output contour polylines, the number of polylines will be one less than the value specified in this parameter (because N class intervals define N-1 contour break values).

This parameter does not apply if the classification_type is set to Manual.

Long
classes_breaks
[classes_breaks,...]
(Opcional)

The list of break values if the classification_type is set to Manual. The values should be passed as a list, and the values can be in any order.

  • For contour output, these are the values of the contour lines.
  • For filled contour, these are the upper limits of each class interval. Note that if the largest break value is less than the maximum of the geostatistical layer, the output feature class will not fill up the entire rectangular extent; all locations with predicted values above the largest break will not receive filled contours.
