The Table to point map operation creates a point map out of a table.
For the coordinates of the points, you can use from the table:
- a coordinate column which contains the XY-coordinates for the points as (X,Y); the domain of this column should be a coordinate system;
- a value column which contains the X-coordinates for the points and another value column which contains the Y-coordinates for the points.
Depending on the domain of the input table, you can furthermore choose between the following possibilities:
- Input table with an ID domain:
the points in the output point map should use the same IDs as found in the domain of the table;
the input table will be linked as attribute table to the output point map.
- Input table with domain None:
the points in the output point map should use the IDs of a new ID domain in which the IDs are based on the record numbers of the table and a user-defined prefix;
also the input table will obtain this new ID domain and the table will be linked as attribute table to the output point map.
- Any input table:
the points in the output point map should use the class names, IDs, or values as found in a column of the table;
the output point map will have no attribute table.
