Mask polygons

Command line

The Mask Polygons operation can be directly executed by typing the following expression on the command line of the Main window:

  

OUTMAP

=

PolygonMapMask(Input PolygonMap,"mask")

where:

OUTMAP

is the name of your output polygon map.

PolygonMapMask

is the command to start the Mask Polygon operation.

InputPolygonMap

is the name of the input polygon 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.
