public class TopoToRasterByFile
extends AbstractGPTool

Interpolates a hydrologically correct raster surface from point, line, and polygon data using parameters specified in a file. The Topo to Raster by File tool is contained in the Spatial Analyst Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The parameter file is structured with the input datasets listed first, followed by the various parameter settings, then the output options.The input data identifies the input datasets and, where applicable, fields. There are six types of input: Contours, Points, Sinks, Streams, Lakes, and Boundaries. You can use as many inputs as you want, within reason. The order in which the inputs are entered does not have any bearing on the outcome. indicates a path to a dataset, indicates a field name, and <#> indicates a value to be entered.The following table lists all of the parameters, the definition of each, and their syntax.ParameterDefinitionSyntaxContoursContour line dataset with item containing height values.PointsPoint dataset with item containing height values.SinksPoint dataset containing sink locations. If the dataset has elevation values for the sinks, specify that field name as the . If only the locations of the sinks are to be used, use NONE for .StreamsStream line dataset. Height values are not necessary.LakesLake polygon dataset. Height values are not necessary.BoundaryBoundary polygon dataset. Height values are not necessary.EnforceControls whether drainage enforcement is applied.DatatypePrimary type of input data.IterationsThe maximum number of iterations the algorithm performs.Roughness PenaltyThe measure of surface roughness.Discretization Error FactorThe amount to adjust the data smoothing of the input data into a raster.Vertical Standard ErrorThe amount of random error in the z-values of the input data.TolerancesThe first reflects the accuracy of elevation data in relation to surface drainage, and the other prevents drainage clearance through unrealistically high barriers.Z-LimitsLower and upper height limits.ExtentMinimum x, minimum y, maximum x, and maximum y coordinate limits.Cell SizeThe resolution of the final output raster.MarginDistance in cells to interpolate beyond the specified output extent and boundary.Output Stream FeaturesOnly use if Output stream polyline features is set in the Topo to Raster by File dialog box.Output Sink FeaturesOnly use if Output remaining sink point features is set in the Topo to Raster by File dialog box.Output Diagnostics FileThe location and name of the diagnostics file.
• Do not specify pathnames for the opional output feature datasets in the parameter file. Use the Output stream polyline features and Output remaining sink point features in the tool dialog box to identify these outputs.

Constructor Detail

TopoToRasterByFile

public TopoToRasterByFile()

Creates the Topo to Raster by File tool with defaults.

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

TopoToRasterByFile

public TopoToRasterByFile(Object inParameterFile,
                          Object outSurfaceRaster)

Creates the Topo to Raster by File 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:

inParameterFile - the input ASCII text file containing the inputs and parameters to use for the interpolation. the file is typically created from a previous run of Topo to Raster with the optional output parameter file specified. in order to test the outcome of changing the parameters, it is easier to make edits to this file and rerun the interpolation than to correctly issue the Topo to Raster tool each time.

outSurfaceRaster - the output interpolated surface raster.
