Create Boundary View

This tool creates a Boundary View for the grids in the specified Input Grid Directory. The Boundary View grids are written to the Output Grid Directory, and grid information is written to the Grid Information File. The File Icon buttons can be used to launch Open File dialogues to select or specify the required directories/file. The Boundary View representation of a grid replaces the non-null values along the grid edges with an integer (or index) that can be used to identify the grid, and fills the grid interior with a pattern of null and non-null values using the same index.

The Boundary Margin, Fill Pattern Size and Pattern Separation are all specified in metres (integers).

Note that the Merge Grids tool must then be used to merge the grids in the Output Grid Directory into a composite merged grid.

Quick Link: See Boundary View for a full explanation of Boundary View, and how these grids are used by GridMerge.
