Where are random points generated in a polygon?
Random points can be generated in an extent window, inside polygon features, on point features, or along line features. The area in which random points will be generated can be defined either by constraining polygon, point, or line features or by a constraining extent window.
How do you create random points in ArcGIS?
The name of the random points feature class to be created. Random points will be generated inside or along the features in this feature class. The constraining feature class can be point, multipoint, line, or polygon. Points will be randomly placed inside polygon features, along line features, or at point feature locations.
When to reduce the number of random points?
When unable to place anymore random points within a constraining area without breaking the minimum allowed distance specified, the number of random points in the constraining area will be reduced to the maximum possible under the minimum allowed distance.
Which is the shortest distance between two randomly placed points?
The shortest distance allowed between any two randomly placed points. If a value of 1 Meter is specified, all random points will be farther than 1 meter away from the closest point. Determines if the output feature class will be a multipart or single-part feature. POINT — The output will be geometry type point (each point is a separate feature).
How to find list of line segments inside a polygon?
For horizontal red colored line I would like to get list of line segments . The desired output is (A-B) (C-D) (E-F) and for vertical line I want to get line segments 1-2 . I went through how to detemine if a line segment is inside of a polygon? and other questions of stack overflow .
Can a line be partially inside a polygon?
The line can be partially inside and partially outside the polygon . The line can intersect the polygon at a single point or at multiple points. The example lines are shown as below Please refer the picture . For horizontal red colored line I would like to get list of line segments .
