Segments to points

Command line

The Segments to points operation can be directly executed by typing one of the following expression on the command line of the Main window:

  

OUTMAP

=

PointMapSegDist(InputSegmentMap, distance)

OUTMAP

=

PointMapSegNodes(InputSegmentMap)

OUTMAP

=

PointMapSegCoords(InputSegmentMap)

where:

OUTMAP

is the name of your output point map.

PointMapSegDist

is the command to start extracting points from segments at a regular distance interval.

PointMapSegNodes

is the command to start extracting all nodes from a segment map into a point map.

PointMapSegCoords

is the command to start extracting all nodes and intermediate coordinates from a segment map into a point map.

InputSegmentMap

is the name of the input segment map.

distance

is the distance interval (in meters) at which points should be extracted from segments; real value > 0.

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.
