      extended by com.esri.arcgis.geoprocessing.tools.coveragetools.Erase
All Implemented Interfaces:
GPTool

public class Erase
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a new output coverage by overlaying the polygons of the erase coverage with the features of the input coverage. Only those portions of the input coverage features falling outside the erase polygon outside boundaries are copied to the output coverage. The Erase tool is contained in the Coverage Tools tool box.

Constructor Detail

Erase

public Erase()
Creates the Erase tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.


Erase

public Erase(Object inCover,
             Object eraseCover,
             Object outCover)
Creates the Erase tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:
inCover - the coverage containing features to be erased.
eraseCover - the coverage whose outer polygon defines the erasing region.
outCover - the coverage to be created.
Method Detail

getInCover

public Object getInCover()
Returns the Input Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage containing features to be erased. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Input Coverage

setInCover

public void setInCover(Object inCover)
Sets the Input Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage containing features to be erased. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
inCover - the coverage containing features to be erased.

getEraseCover

public Object getEraseCover()
Returns the Erase Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage whose outer polygon defines the erasing region. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Erase Coverage

setEraseCover

public void setEraseCover(Object eraseCover)
Sets the Erase Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage whose outer polygon defines the erasing region. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
eraseCover - the coverage whose outer polygon defines the erasing region.

getOutCover

public Object getOutCover()
