3161 Overlay

This document describes GIS overlay operations including buffer, union, identity, and intersect. Buffer creates polygons around features. Union combines two coverages preserving all polygons. Identity preserves overlapping features between two coverages. Intersect only preserves features common to both coverages.

BUFFER

 creates buffer polygons around specified input coverage features.


 Available at: ARC

BUFFER <in_cover> <out_cover> {buffer_item} {buffer_table}


{buffer_distance} {fuzzy_tolerance} {LINE | POLY | POINT | NODE} {ROUND |
FLAT} {FULL | LEFT | RIGHT}

100 - Polygon(s) representing a buffer zone


1 - Polygon(s) outside the buffer zone

Union

computes the geometric intersection of two polygon coverages. All


polygons from both coverages will be split at their intersections and
preserved in the output coverage.

UNION <in_cover> <union_cover> <out_cover> {fuzzy_tolerance} {JOIN | NOJOIN}

Union

UNION creates a new region coverage by overlaying two sets of


regions. In the figure below, the input coverage contains regions A and
B. The union coverage contains regions C and D. The output
coverage contains all four regions.

Identity

computes the geometric intersection of two coverages. All features of the


input coverage, as well as those features of the identity coverage that overlap
the input coverage, are preserved in the output coverage.

Intersect

computes the geometric intersection of two coverages. Only those features in


the area common to both coverages will be preserved in the output coverage.
