com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.spatialanalysttools.LineDensity
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- GPTool
public class LineDensity
- extends AbstractGPTool
Calculates a magnitude per unit area from polyline features that fall within a radius around each cell.
The Line Density tool is contained in the Spatial Analyst Tools tool box.
Usage tips:
- Only the portion of a line within the neighborhood is considered when calculating the density. If no lines fall within the neighborhood at a particular cell, that cell is assigned NoData.
- Larger values of the radius parameter produce a more generalized density raster. Smaller values produce a raster that shows more detail.
- If the area unit scale factor units are small relative to the features (length of line sections), the output values may be small. To obtain larger values, use the area unit scale factor for larger units (for example, square kilometers versus square meters).
- The values on the output raster will always be floating point.
