Re: RE: point distances

Hi Mike,

1. How can I add X and Y coordinates to the point vector segment attribute table?

As far as I know, there is no existing algorithm to do this in Geomatica. It could be done via a work-around though. Our support department (support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) could help you with the work-around if need be.

2. Could you direct me to the EASI commands for a script I am writing?

I'm not sure if you mean you want to know the EASI command to add the X&Y coordinates or an EASI command to add the distance attribute. Either way, the answer is the same - there is no single EASI task to do it.

Thanks Matt!

I wonder if you could answer another couple of questions for me.

1. How can I add X and Y coordinates to the point vector segment attribute table?

2. Could you direct me to the EASI commands for a script I am writing?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

You can do this using the Statistical Overlay in Focus. The point layer would be the primary input layer and the polyline would be the secondary. In step 2 of the Overlay Wizard in the Additional Attributes section you can check on "Distance". This will add an attribute called OverlayDistance to your point layer with the minimal distance to the closest secondary shape.

Subject: point distances

Hi folks,

I have point and polyline layers and I would like to determine the shortest distance from each point to the polyline and add that value to the point attribute table.

Any suggestions?
