Description

This function is used in raster to TIN conversion. It's a recursive process that adds pixel cell centers from the PixelBlock as nodes to the TIN. The process stops once a specified vertical accuracy has been achieved, or a maximum number of nodes have been added.

xOrigin and yOrigin represent the upper left cell center of the PixelBlock in map space coordinates.

xPixelSize and yPixelSize represent the x and y cell dimensions (cellsize) of the PixelBlock.

valueForNoData is the value used for cells in the PixelBlock to indicate NoData. Cells with this value will be excluded.

block is the PixelBlock itself.

zTolerance is a vertical accuracy parameter. The resulting TIN's height field will not differ from the input PixelBlock's by more than this value. A smaller zTolerance produces a TIN that is more accurate.

[MaxPoints] is an optional long integer. The process will halt if the total number of nodes in the TIN, not just just those added by this function, has been reached without the zTolerance being achieved. For performance reasons [MaxPoints] is approximate so it's possible the resulting TIN may be slightly larger than the value specified.

[bToleranceAchieved] is a boolean that is set by the function if the [MaxPoints] argument was specified. It is set to TRUE if the zTolerance was met or FALSE if the function had to quit as a result of reaching [MaxPoints] without meeting the tolerance.
