Find Centroids

Find Centroids


This tool works with a layer of multipoint, line, or area features to determine the representative center of each feature.

If Use current map extent is checked, only the features in the input multipoint, line, or area layer visible within the current map extent will be analyzed. If unchecked, all features in the input layer will be analyzed, even if they are outside the current map extent.

Choose layer whose features will be used to generate centroids


The multipoint, line, or area layer that will be used to find centroids.

Poleg izbire sloja s karte lahko izberete Izberi sloj za analizo iz zbirke Living Atlas ali Izberi sloj za analizo, ki se nahajata v spodnjem delu spustnega menija. To odpre galerijo, ki vsebuje zbirko slojev, uporabnih za mnoge analize.

Show me output locations


When At the true centroid is checked (default), the output will return the true location of the centroid for each input feature. The centroids will be located as follows:

  • Multipoint features—The output centroid will be located at the average x and y coordinates of all the points in the multipoint feature.
  • Line features—The output centroid will be located at the weighted average x and y coordinates of the midpoints of all line segments in the line feature. The weight is based on the length of the segment.
  • Area features—The output centroid will be located at the center of the area.

When contained by input features is checked, the output point features will be contained by or inside each input feature. The resulting point features will appear as follows:

  • Multipoint features—The output centroid will be coincident to one of the points in the multipoint group.
  • Line features—The output centroid will be on the line. If the line is curved, the output will be at the midpoint of the line.
  • Area features—The output point will be inside the area feature.

Result layer name


To je ime sloja, ki bo ustvarjen v Moji vsebini in dodan na karto. Privzeto ime temelji na imenu orodja in imenu vhodnega sloja. Če ime sloja že obstaja, boste morali vnesti drugo ime.

S pomočjo spustnega menija Shrani rezultat v lahko navedete ime mape v Moji vsebini, kjer bo shranjen rezultat.
