GPTool

public class CreateFishnet
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a fishnet of rectangular cells which can be polyline or polygon features. The Create Fishnet tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The coordinate system of the output can be set either by entering a feature class or layer in the Template Extent parameter or by setting the Output Coordinate System environment variable.
• In addition to creating the output fishnet, a new point feature class is created with label points at the center of each fishnet cell if the Create Label Points parameter is set to LABELS (Checked). The name of this feature class is the same as the output feature class with a suffix of _Labels and is created in the same locaton.
• The Geometry Type parameter gives the option of creating output polyline (default) or polygon cells. Creating a polygon fishnet may be slow, depending on the number of rows and columns.
• The Cell Size Width and the Cell Size Height values are in the same units as defined by the output feature class.
