Constructor Detail

AggregatePolygons

public AggregatePolygons()
Creates the Aggregate Polygons tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.


AggregatePolygons

public AggregatePolygons(java.lang.Object inCover,
                         java.lang.Object outCover,
                         double cellSize,
                         double distance)
Creates the Aggregate Polygons tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:
inCover - the coverage containing polygons to be aggregated.
outCover - the output coverage containing aggregated features as preliminary regions with a subclass AREAAGG. The output coverage name must be different from the input coverage name.
cellSize - sets cell size in coverage units for grid conversion. Cell size must be greater than 0.
distance - sets the aggregation distance in coverage units. A distance must be equal to or greater than the cell size.
