GENERATE_POINTS_FROM_ELEV_GRID

Creates a point feature at the center of each cell in the specified elevation grid layer(s).

The available parameters for the command include:

  • FILENAME - filename or layer description of the layer(s) to process. If an empty value, or "* wildcard character of variable length", is passed in, all loaded elevation grid layers will be included, and a separate output layer will be produced for each input layer. This parameter can be listed more than once to specify multiple input files, like FILENAME="FILENAME_1" FILENAME="FILENAME_2".
  • LAYER_DESC - specifies the name to assign to the output layer. If no layer description is provided, a default name will be assigned. If more than one layer is being processed, this will be used as a suffix on the automatically generated layer name.

Example:

GENERATE_POINTS_FROM_ELEV_GRID FILENAME="elev_grid.gmg" \
LAYER_DESC="grid_points" \
POLYGON_CROP_FILE="CropAreas.shp" POLYGON_CROP_USE_ALL=YES
