Densify segment coordinates

Dialog box

The Densify segment coordinates operation allows you to obtain more intermediate coordinates within segments. The segments of an input map are copied, and extra intermediate coordinates are added to the segments in the output map at a user-specified distance.

You can use the Densify segment coordinates operation separately before a Transform segments operation, but you can also use the Densify coordinates option within the Transform segments or the Transform polygons operations.

Dialog box options:

Input segment map:

Select an input segment map. Open the list box and select the desired input map, or drag a segment map directly from the Catalog into this box. No special input map requirements.

Distance:

Type a value for the distance interval (in meters) at which you want to obtain extra intermediate coordinates within segments.

Output segment map:

Type a name for the output segment map that will contain the copied segments.

Description:

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

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