An overview of the Generalization toolset

The Generalization toolset contains tools that generalize data for cartographic purposes.

ToolDescription

Hydro Centerline

Converts hydrographic polygon features into individual polyline centerlines. This tool is used by the Esri Defense Mapping solution to create polyline hydrographic features at scales where a polygon feature is inappropriate or not useful. It produces an approximate centerline from input polygons. This centerline serves as a polyline representation of the original polygon feature.

Smooth Line

Esri Defense Mapping cartographic production tool that smooths sharp angles and corners to improve feature display. This tool uses a Defense Mapping-specific algorithm to perform its feature modifications.
