Parameters

dataset [in]

  dataset is a parameter of type IGeoDataset

pWorkspace [in]

  pWorkspace is a parameter of type IWorkspace

name [in]   name is a parameter of type BSTR zeroAsBackground [in]   zeroAsBackground is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL weeding [in]   weeding is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL minDangle [in]   minDangle is a parameter of type VARIANT GeoDataset [out, retval]

  GeoDataset is a parameter of type IGeoDataset

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Remarks

dataSet

the input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor to be converted to feature class

pWorkspace

an object specifying the directory or subdirectory to contain the output feature class

name

The name of the output feature class

zeroAsBackground

a Boolean specifying the cell value that will identify the background cells. The raster is viewed as a set of foreground cells and background cells. The linear features are formed from the foreground cells.

If TRUE, the background is composed of cells of zero or less, or nodata. All cells whose value is greater than zero are the foreground.

If FALSE, the background is composed of NoData cells. All cells with valid values belong to the foreground.

weeding

a Boolean specifying whether or not a weed tolerance will by used

If FALSE, no weeding is done

If TRUE, the featureclass is weeded to reduce the number of vertices.


The WEED option uses the Douglas-Puecker algorithm.

minDangle

Minimum length of dangling polylines that will be retained.

The default is zero.
