Description

-----------
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.

- - ``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

20
- ``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.

- ``Distance Weighting[Selection] ``:
14
35
- ``Inverse Distance Power[Number] ``:
36
+ The degree of the equation used in the interpolation
37

15
38
- ``Exponential and Gaussian Weighting Bandwidth[Number] ``:
16
39
- ``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
+
17
43
- ``Search Radius[Number] ``:
18
44
- ``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

- ``Number of Points[Selection] ``:

- ``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.
