PARAMETERS

RTV is controlled by the following global parameters:

Name     Prompt                                  Count     Type
FILE     Database File Name                      1-64      Char
DBIC     Database Input Channel List             1         Int
DBIW     Database Input Window                   0-4       Int
DBSN     Database Segment Name                   1-8       Char
DBSD     Database Segment Descriptor             0-64      Char
POLYINFO Polygon Info.: LINES/POINTS/BOTH        1-6       Char
BORDER   Border Vectors: ON/OFF                  1-4       Char
CONTINT  Contour interval                        0-1       Real

The following parameter receives output:

LASC     Last Segment Created                    1         Int

FILE

Specifies the name of the PCIDSK file from which the image is read and to which the vector data is written.

 EASI>FILE="filespec"

DBIC

Specifies the database image channel to vectorize.

 EASI>DBIC=i

DBIW

Specifies the input image window to use in generating vector data.

 EASI>DBIW=xoffset,yoffset,xsize,ysize
 EASI>DBIW=                             | use entire image

DBSN

Specifies an 8-character quick identifier for the new vector segment.

 EASI>DBSN="name"

DBSD

Optionally specifies a 64-character descriptor for the new vector segment.

 EASI>DBSD="descriptor"

LASC

This parameter is assigned the segment number of the newly created vector segment.

POLYINFO

  Valid Values:   LINES, POINTS, BOTH
  Default:        LINES
Specifies the type of information that should be generated from the input image. Three options exist:

  LINES   =     Generate lines bounding each area
  POINTS  =     Generate an interior point for each area
  BOTH    =     Generate both lines and points

BORDER

  Valid Values:   ON, OFF
  Default:        ON
Specifies whether lines should be generated along the borders of the image.

  ON     =   Generate border lines
  OFF    =   Do not generate border lines

CONTINT

  Valid Values:   x > 0.0
  Default:        1.0
Optionally specifies a contour interval for generating contour vectors from an elevation image. For example,

NOTE: CONTINT cannot equal 0.

LayerName

  Valid Values:   <string, 1-8 characters>
  Default:        RTV
Specifies a name for the new vector layer.

LayerDesc

  Valid Values:   <string, 0-64 characters>
  Default:        <none>
