- All Implemented Interfaces:
- GPTool
public class TopoToRaster
- extends AbstractGPTool
Interpolates a hydrologically correct raster raster surface from point, line, and polygon data.
The Topo to Raster tool is contained in the 3D Analyst Tools tool box.
Usage tips:
- The best results will be obtained if all input data is stored in the same planar coordinate system and has the same ZUNITS. Unprojected data (latitude/longitude) can be used; however, the results may not be as accurate, particularly at high latitudes.
- Topo to Raster will only use four input data points for the interpolation of each output cell. All additional points are ignored. If too many points are encountered by the algorithm, an error may occur indicating the point dataset has too many points. The maximum number of points that can be used is NRows * NCols, where NRows is the number of rows in the output raster and NCols is the number of columns.
- When the input feature type is CONTOUR, the algorithm first generates a generalized morphology of the surface based on the curvature of the contours. The algorithm then implements the contours as a source of elevation information. Contours are best suited for large-scale data where the contours and corners are reliable indicators of streams and ridges. At smaller scales it can be just as effective, and less expensive, to digitize corner points of contours and use them as an input point feature class.
- Representing braided streams or using arcs to represent two sides of a stream may not produce reliable results. Stream data always takes priority over point or contour data; therefore, elevation data points that conflict with descent down each stream are ignored. Stream data is a powerful way of adding topographic information to the interpolation, further ensuring the quality of the output DEM.
- Typical values for the Tolerance 1 and Tolerance 2 settings are:
- To make experimentation with the inputs and parameters easier, use the Topo to Raster dialog box to create an output parameter file, which can be modified in any text editor and used as input to the Topo to Raster by File tool.
