All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class FeatureVerticesToPoints
extends AbstractGPTool

Creates a feature class containing points generated from specified vertices or locations of the input features. The Feature Vertices To Points tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The attributes of the input features will be maintained in the output feature class. A new field, ORIG_FID, will be added to the output feature class and set to the input feature IDs.
• For multipart lines or polygons, each part will be treated as a line. Therefore, each part will have its own start, end, and mid points, as well as possible dangle point(s).
• A parametric (true) curve has only the start and end points and will not be densified.
• For the DANGLE option of the Point Type parameter on the dialog box (the point_location parameter in scripting), an additional field, DANGLE_LEN carrying the dangle length values in feature unit, will be added to the output feature class. For an isolated line, both endpoints are dangle points; therefore, the dangle length is the line length itself. For a dangle line that intersects another line at one of its endpoints, the dangle length is measured from the dangling endpoint to the intersection.
