Geometry Extraction

Top  Previous  Next

 

 In the Layer Properties of layers, in the Data tab, you can specify Geometry Extractions for that layer; this says how to extract the geometric data of the layer and display it on the scene. There are many different types of Geometry Extractions you can do, one of these methods is Script. Here you can write a script specifying how the data should be extracted. This scripting dialogue contains the same scripting features as other areas:

clip0004

 

clip0005

 

In addition, you can check the syntax of your script with Check Syntax button; you can insert a column from your data to refer to in the script with Insert Column; and you can insert  some predefined calculations into your script with Insert Calculation button.

 

For an example of using the Script method of Geometry Extraction, refer to the 3D Capability in 2D Maps guide.
