Grid from Points

Parameter

Comments

Input features
<in_features>

Input point layer.

Height source
<value_field>

Attribute field with values to interpolate.

Output Grid
<out_raster_dataset>

Specify output Grid in Esri Grid, IMG or TIFF formats.

Cell size
<cell_size>

Specify output Grid cell size value.

Interpolation method
{algorithm_type}

Select interpolation algorithm:

• IDW_SIMPLE - the simplest form of inverse distance weighting interpolation.

• IDW_LINEAR_INTERPOLATE - this modified algorithm is able to interpolate scattered data and provides good performance even for large datasets, recommended in most cases.

• IDW_LINEAR_APPROXIMATE - this algorithm is modified to fit noisy data and should be applied only to noisy tasks.

Maximum neighbors
<max_neighbors>

Specify maximum number of neighboring points taken into account for interpolating a value in an unmeasured location.

Mask
{mask_layer}

Select polygons that will be used as a mask, output Grid will be created only within the selected mask.
