The Mask Points operation can be directly executed by typing the following expression on the command line of the Main window:
OUTMAP |
= |
PointMapMask(Input PointMap,"mask") |
where:
OUTMAP |
is the name of your output point map. |
PointMapMask |
is the command to start the Mask Points operation. |
InputPointMap |
is the name of the input point map. |
"mask" |
are the (multiple) search strings to find the classes, IDs or values in the input map that you want to copy into the output map; on the command line, the total mask needs to be surrounded by double quotes. |
When the definition symbol = is used, a dependent output map is created; when the assignment symbol := is used, the dependency link is immediately broken after the output map has been calculated.
