Generate Elevation Guide Features (Topographic Production)

Краткая информация

Creates data required for an elevation guide diagram surround element as required by various supported map product specifications. This tool uses existing banding and thinning parameters to generate output elevation band features, spot height features, and hydrology features.

Использование

• The tool will create, at a minimum, the following feature classes in the target feature dataset:

  • EGB_COAST_L
  • EGB_BANDS_A
  • EGB_BANDS_L
  • EGB_HYDRO_A
  • EGB_HYDRO_L
  • EGB_SPOTS_P

  If input hydrology line or input hydrology area features are provided, the tool will create the EGB_HYDRO_A and EGB_HYDRO_L feature classes as required with a selection of thinned hydro features as specified by the Minimum Hydro Length and Minimum Hydro Area parameters.

  If input spot height features are provided, the tool will also create the EGB_SPOTS_P feature class and will populate this feature class with a selection of thinned spot heights based on the provided search distance.

  These feature classes will manage elevation bands and coastlines in a common format that can be used by product templates to preconfigure layers and required symbology for the elevation guide diagram.

• The symbology for the elevation band features is intended to be separated between band areas and lines to better support elevation band line masking requirements for overlapping spot height annotation.

• The coastline features will only be generated if a set of hydro exclusion features are available when processing the elevation bands. Without hydro exclusion features, no hydro features will be created by the banding tools to identify the coastline, as the area of interest will be assumed to be 100 percent land.

• If more than one input raster is used, all input rasters must have the same cell size, band count, and pixel type. All input rasters should also use the same elevation units (meters or feet).

• When the area of interest extent is not completely within the raster extent, incorrect bands may be generated.

Input Feature Dataset	An existing feature dataset that will contain the EGB feature classes. Data created for the elevation guide box is maintained in these feature classes in this feature dataset.	Feature Dataset
Area Of Interest	A feature layer with a single selected feature that defines a processing extent for banding operations and a clipping extent for spot heights, input hydro areas, and lines.	Layer
Input Rasters	One or more rasters used to create elevation bands and supply elevation values to the created features.	Raster Layer; Mosaic Layer
Hydro Exclusion Features (Дополнительный)	A feature layer that defines a large water body area to exclude from the elevation band area computation.	Feature Layer
Spot Height Features (Дополнительный)	A feature layer or class that contains spot heights.	Feature Layer
Hydro Line Features (Дополнительный)	Hydrology line features used to generate the output of a thinned hydrology dataset. Only the output features are generalized through this thinning process.	Feature Layer
Hydro Area Features (Дополнительный)	Hydrology area features used to generate the thinned hydrology dataset. Only the output features are generalized through this thinning process.	Feature Layer
Contour Interval (Дополнительный)	Specifies the contour interval that will be used to determine the closest available contour when calculating the elevation band area. Elevation bands are created with their limits aligned to the specified contour interval, except low and high values, which will represent their actual calculated values. 10—A contour interval of 10 will be used. 20—A contour interval of 20 will be used. This is the default. 40—A contour interval of 40 will be used. 80—A contour interval of 80 will be used.	Long
Minimum Feature Area (Дополнительный)	The minimum area for output polygons. Features smaller than this value will be removed. The default is 0.00016 square decimal degrees. Примечание: If you are creating an output dataset with a projected coordinate system, ensure that this value reflects the square units of that coordinate system—for example, square meters for a UTM dataset. Otherwise, the default value may result in an empty output dataset.	Double
Smoothing Tolerance (Дополнительный)	The tolerance used by the smoothing algorithm. The larger the value, the more generalized the output band features. The default is 0.002 decimal degrees.	Linear Unit
Number Of Elevation Bands (Дополнительный)	Specifies the number of elevation bands that will be generated. 1—One elevation band will be generated. 2—Two elevation bands will be generated. 3—Three elevation bands will be generated. 4—Four elevation bands will be generated.	Long
Height Field (Дополнительный)	The field that identifies the elevation values of the spot height features. These values will be evaluated during the thinning process.	Field
Search Distance (Дополнительный)	The minimum distance between spot heights. The default is 0 meters.	Linear Unit
Minimum Hydro Line Length (Дополнительный)	The minimum length used to eliminate hydrographic features. The tool will thin hydro features that have a length less than this value. This value is used when generalizing input hydro lines and areas.	Linear Unit
Minimum Hydro Line Spacing (Дополнительный)	The shortest distance between a hydrographic segments that will display at the output scale. If the spacing between two parallel trending features is smaller than this value, one of the features will be hidden. This parameter defines a sense of the density of the resulting thinned hydrography. It should correspond to the distance between two parallel trending features that is visually significant to include at the final scale. When the density of features is too high (that is, the features are too closely spaced), at least one feature will be hidden. This can result in important features or features longer than the Minimum Hydro Line Length value being hidden.	Linear Unit
Minimum Hydro Area Length (Дополнительный)	The length used to split and classify hydrographic polygons as short or long. Polygons will be split at any location where the edge-to-edge distance is equal to the Minimum Hydro Area Length value.	Linear Unit
Minimum Hydro Area Width (Дополнительный)	The width used to split and classify hydrographic polygons as narrow or wide. Polygons will be split at any location where the edge-to-edge distance is equal to the Minimum Hydro Area Width value.	Linear Unit
