Transform polygon map

Command line

The Transform polygon map operation can be directly executed by typing one of the following expressions on the command line of the Main window:

 

OUTMAP

=

PolygonMapTransform(InputPolygonMap, TargetCoordSys)

OUTMAP

=

PolygonMapTransform(InputPolygonMap, TargetCoordSys, interval)

where:

OUTMAP

is the name of your output polygon map.

PolygonMapTransform

is the command to start the Transform Polygon Map operation.

InputPolygonMap

is the name of the input polygon map. The coordinate system of the input polygon map is the coordinate system from which you will transform.

TargetCoordSys

is the name of your target coordinate system; this is the coordinate system to which you will transform.

interval

is an optional parameter to densify the coordinates of polygon boundaries before the transformation will take place; specify the distance interval at which additional intermediate points should be inserted in your polygon boundaries (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.
