The Segments to points operation creates a point map from a segment map. The output point map can contain either:
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. |
|
Select this option button if you want to obtain all the segment nodes as points. |
|
Select this option button if you want to obtain coordinates at a regular distance along segments, and type a value for the distance interval (in meters); real value > 0. |
|
Select this option button if you want to obtain the segment nodes and intermediate coordinates as points. |
Output point map: |
Type a name for the output point map that will contain the segment label points. |
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.
