Neighbour polygons

Dialog box

The Neighbour polygons operation finds adjacent (or neighbouring) polygons in a polygon map and calculates the length of the boundaries of adjacent polygons.

Dialog box options:

Input polygon map:

Select an input polygon map. Open the list box and select the desired input map, or drag a polygon map directly from the Catalog into this box. The polygon map needs to use a class, ID or group domain.

Output table:

Type a name for the output table that will contain the lengths of the boundaries of neighbouring polygons.

Description:

Optionally, type a description for the output table. The description will appear in the status bar of the Main window when moving the mouse pointer over the table in a Catalog, and in the title bar of a table window when the output table is displayed. If no description is supplied, the output table will use its own definition as description.

When you click the Show button, the dependent output table will be defined, calculated and shown. When you click the Define button, the dependent output table will only be defined; if necessary, the table will be calculated later, for instance when the table is opened to be displayed.
