For more information, see Understand credits for spatial analysis. Use Estimate credits to calculate the number of credits that will be required to run the tool. This default is different from Map Viewer Classic in which Use current map extent is enabled by default. The default processing extent in Map Viewer is Full extent.

This tool honors the following analysis environments: You can access the tool's analysis environment settings from the Environment settings parameter group.

Save in folder specifies the name of a folder in My Content where the result will be saved.Īnalysis environment settings are additional parameters that affect a tool's results.If a layer with the same name already exists in your organization, the tool will fail and you will be prompted to use a different name. Output name determines the name of the layer that is created and added to the map.The Result layer group includes the following parameters: The difference in result layers is shown when all tessellations are returned (first image) or only intersecting tessellations are returned (second image). If checked, only bins that intersect features from the extent layer will be returned. If unchecked (default), all generated bins will be returned. Only cover the areas where the tessellations intersect withįeatures in the extent layer. Only keep intersecting tessellations specifies whether the tessellations will cover the entire extent of the extent layer or Extent layer is the extent of the tessellation grid.The Extent settings group includes the following parameters: The resolution sizes are defined by the H3 hexagonal hierarchical geospatial indexing system. Supported resolutions are numbers between 0 and 15. H3 bin resolution specifies the resolution for H3 hexagon bins.If Area is selected as the Bin size measurement value, the units can be square miles, acres, square yards, square feet, square inches, hectares, square kilometers, or square meters. If Distance is selected as the Bin size measurement value, the units can be miles, nautical miles, yards, feet, kilometers, or meters. Bin size units specifies the units of the Bin size value.Bin size is a numeric value that defines the size of the bins in the tessellation.Distance-The size of the bin will be defined by the distance between two vertices of the specified Bin shape type value.Area-The size of the bin will be defined by its area.The Bin size measurement parameter options are the following: Bin size measurement specifies how the size of the bin will be defined.For the transverse hexagon bin shape, the right and left sides of the hexagon are parallel to the y-axis of the coordinate system.

The H3 hexagon option requires an H3 bin resolution value to specify the size, all other options require a Bin size measurement value.For the hexagon bin shape, the top and bottom sides of the hexagon are parallel to the x-axis of the coordinate system. The Bin shape type parameter options are Square, Hexagon, Triangle, Diamond, Transverse hexagon, and H3 hexagon. The Tessellation settings group includes the following parameters:īin shape type specifies the shape of the bins in the tessellation. Generate Tessellations includes configurations for the tessellation settings, extent settings, and result layer. They can then assess the area and determine the number of seedlings and resources they need to efficiently reforest the region. While planning a reforestation project, foresters may need to divide the study area into bins or regularly shaped areas.To index and record each artifact, the archeologist can create a grid of tessellated features that cover the entire study area. An archeologist discovers an ancient burial ground with many valuable artifacts.ExamplesĮxample uses of this tool include the following: Grid of cells with an area and shape that cover a specified extent. The Generate Tessellations tool creates a
