Trend surface

Command line

The Trend surface operation can be directly executed by typing one of the following expressions on the command line of the Main window:

  

OUTMAP

=

MapTrendSurface(InputPointMap, Georeference, SurfaceType)

OUTMAP

=

MapTrendSurface(PointMap.Column, Georeference, SurfaceType)

where:

OUTMAP

is the name of the output raster map.

MapTrendSurface

is the command to start the Trend surface operation.

InputPointMap

is the name of the input point map with a value domain.

PointMap.Column

is the name of an input point map with a class or ID domain which has a linked attribute table, and the name of a value column in this attribute table.

Georeference

is the name of an existing georeference that should be used for the output raster map.

SurfaceType

is the parameter which specifies the function with which a surface should be calculated; use one of the following:

Plane | Linear2 | Parabolic2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

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.
