Description
55
-----------
6+
It uses a point shapes data layer to provide values for “control points”.
7+
The points are irregularly distributed. A numeric attribute is chosen from the attribute table
8+
linked to the shapes data layer. The attribute data are the data values for the control points.

Parameters

----------

10-
- ``Points[Vector]``:
11-
- ``Attribute[TableField]``:
13+
- ``Points[Vector]``:
14+
Points shapes data layer for input.
15+
16+
- ``Attribute[TableField]``:
17+
Identifying the attribute of the point shapes data layer that will provide the numeric
18+
data for the point objects
19+
1220
- ``Target Grid[Selection]``:
21+
Grid data layer that will contain the interpolated data values as grid cell data.
22+
With “user defined” option (default) user must enter the target dimensions for the output
23+
grid data layer. Other options are:
24+
- ‘Grid Size’: the length of one side of the grid cells defining the grid data layer.
25+
- ‘Fit Extent’: if the box is checked, the west-east and north-south boundaries of the generated grid
26+
data layer will be defined by the minimum and maximum x and y coordinates for the data points.
27+
When the box is un-checked, the coordinate values entered for the ‘X-Extent’ and ‘Y-Extent’ parameters
28+
will be used to define the boundaries for the generated grid data layer.
29+
- “grid project”:allows the user to choose an existing grid system.
30+
- “grid”: it allows to choose a specific grid data layer to provide the target dimensions for the output
31+
grid data layer. The numeric data type used in the chosen grid data layer will be the same type used
32+
in the output grid data layer.
33+
1334
- ``Distance Weighting[Selection]``:
1435
- ``Inverse Distance Power[Number]``:
36+
The degree of the equation used in the interpolation
37+
1538
- ``Exponential and Gaussian Weighting Bandwidth[Number]``:
1639
- ``Search Range[Selection]``:
40+
The distance out from each known data point the algorithm will search to locate additional known data
41+
points for use in the interpolation equation. The default is 100.
42+
1743
- ``Search Radius[Number]``:
1844
- ``Search Mode[Selection]``:
45+
There are two search modes to choose. The default is “all directions”. The second choice is “quadrants”.
46+
In this case, the search will be on a quadrant basis. When it finds the ‘Maximum Points’ in the quadrant,
47+
it will move to the next point object.
48+
1949
- ``Number of Points[Selection]``:
2050
- ``Maximum Number of Points[Number]``:
51+
Identifies how many points will be sought for use in the interpolation formula.
52+
The default maximum number of points is 10.
53+
2154
- ``Output extent[Extent]``:
2255
- ``Cellsize[Number]``:
2356
