All Implemented Interfaces:
GPTool

public class Dice
extends AbstractGPTool

Subdivides a feature into smaller features based on a specified vertex limit. This tool is intended as a way to subdivide extremely large features which cause issues with drawing, analysis, editing, and/or performance but are difficult to split up with standard editing and geoprocessing tools. This tool should not be used in any cases other than those where tools are failing to complete successfully due to the size of features. The Dice tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Constructor Detail

Dice

public Dice()
Creates the Dice tool with defaults.

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


Dice

public Dice(java.lang.Object inFeatures,
            java.lang.Object outFeatureClass,
            int vertexLimit)
Creates the Dice 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:
inFeatures - the input feature class or feature layer. The geometry type must be multipoint, line, or polygon.
outFeatureClass - the feature class which will be created and to which the result will be written
vertexLimit - features with geometries which exceed this vertex limit will be subdivided before being written to the output feature class.
