Tool Name	Polygon Categories to Grid
Tool ID	10
Library ID	grid_gridding
Version	1.0
Author(s)	O.Conrad (c) 2018

Description

This tool has been designed to rasterize polygons representing categories and selects that category, which has maximum coverage of a cell. The advantage using this tool (instead the more simple 'Shapes to Grid' or 'Polygons to Grid' tools) is that it summarizes all polygon coverages belonging to the same category.

Parameters

Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints
Input
Polygons	shapes, input	POLYGONS
Target System	grid, input, optional	TARGET_TEMPLATE	use this grid's system for output grids
Output
Classification	table, output, optional	CLASSES	Classification look-up table for interpretation of resulting grid cell values.
Category	grid, output	CATEGORY
Coverage	grid, output, optional	COVERAGE
Options
Category	table field	FIELD	The attribute field that specifies the category a polygon belongs to.
Method	choice	METHOD	Choose cell wise, if you have not many polygons. Polygon wise will show much better performance, if you have many (small) polygons.	Available Choices: [0] cell wise [1] polygon wise Default: 1
Multiple Polygons	choice	MULTIPLE	Output value for cells that intersect with more than one polygon.	Available Choices: [0] minimum coverage [1] maximum coverage Default: 1
Target Grid System	choice	TARGET_DEFINITION		Available Choices: [0] user defined [1] grid or grid system Default: 0

North	floating point number	TARGET_USER_YMAX		Default: 100.000000
Columns	integer number	TARGET_USER_COLS	Number of cells in East-West direction.	Minimum: 1 Default: 101
Rows	integer number	TARGET_USER_ROWS	Number of cells in North-South direction.	Minimum: 1 Default: 101
Rounding	boolean	TARGET_USER_FLAT	Round bounding coordinates to multiples of cell size. Ignored if cell size has decimal places.	Default: 1
