GPTool

public class Intersect
extends AbstractGPTool

Computes a geometric intersection of the input features. Features or portions of features which overlap in all layers and/or feature classes will be written to the output feature class. The Intersect tool is contained in the Analysis Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• Input Features must be simple features: point, multipoint, line, or polygon. They cannot be complex features such as annotation features, dimension features, or network features.
• If the inputs have different geometry types (that is, line on poly, point on line, and so on), the Output Feature Class geometry type will default to be the same as the Input Features with the lowest dimension geometry. For example, if one or more of the inputs is of type point, the default output will be point; if one or more of the inputs is line, the default output will be line; and if all inputs are polygon, the default output will be polygon.
• The Output Type can be that of the Input Features with the lowest dimension geometry or lower. For example, if all the inputs are polygons, the output could be polygon, line, or point. If one of the inputs is of type line and none are points, the output can be line or point. If any of the inputs are point, the Output Type can only be point.
• Attribute values from the input feature class(es) will be copied to the output feature class. However, if the input is a layer(s) created by the tool and a field's "Use Ratio Policy" is checked, then a ratio of the input attribute value is calculated for the output attribute value. When "Use Ratio Policy" is enabled, whenever a feature in an overlay operation is split, the attributes of the resulting features are a ratio of the attribute value of the input feature. The output value is based on the ratio in which the input feature geometry was divided. For example, If the input geometry was divided equally, each new feature's attribute value is assigned one-half of the value of the input feature's attribute value. "Use Ratio Policy" only applies to numeric field types.Geoprocessing tools do not honor geodatabase feature class or table field split policies.
• This tool will use a tiling process to handle very large datasets for better performance and scalability. For more details, see .
• With ArcView and Editor licenses, the number of input feature classes or layers is limited to two.

Constructor Detail

Intersect

public Intersect()

Creates the Intersect tool with defaults.

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

Intersect

public Intersect(Object inFeatures,
                 Object outFeatureClass)

Creates the Intersect 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:

inFeatures - a list of the input feature classes or layers. When the distance between features is less than the cluster tolerance, the features with the lower rank will snap to the feature with the higher rank. The highest rank is one. For more information, see Priority ranks and Geoprocessing tools.

outFeatureClass - the output feature class.

Method Detail

getInFeatures

public Object getInFeatures()

Returns the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is a list of the input feature classes or layers.

For more information, see Priority ranks and Geoprocessing tools. This is a required parameter.

Returns:

the Input Features

setInFeatures

public void setInFeatures(Object inFeatures)

Sets the Input Features parameter of this tool . This parameter is a list of the input feature classes or layers.

For more information, see Priority ranks and Geoprocessing tools. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:

inFeatures - a list of the input feature classes or layers. When the distance between features is less than the cluster tolerance, the features with the lower rank will snap to the feature with the higher rank. The highest rank is one. For more information, see Priority ranks and Geoprocessing tools.
