Creates closed polygon geometries by connecting individual points in sequence. This tool is particularly useful when reconstructing area features from boundary points, such as land plots or enclosures. Points can be grouped by a specified data field, enabling the generation of multiple polygons based on categorized point sets..

The SPMPOINTSTOPOLYGON command creates closed polygon entities from sets of points.

Points to Polygon Options

• Source: select the points to convert (review selection control options).
• Points to Polygon options
  • Order mode:
    • Automatic: The polygon creation begins at the furthest point from all selected points. Each following point is selected as the nearest point from those remaining.
    • Order by field value: If the points have an associated field value, you can choose to create the polygon based on that value ascending order.
  • Group by field value: If the points have an associated field value, you can choose to create separate polygons for each unique field value.
• Options
  • Layer/Table name: specify the layer where the created polygons will be placed and the table name for attached data.
  • Apply random colors to new layers: if checked, the created layers will be assigned random colors.
  • Create: borders (closed polylines) or polygons.
  • Fill with hatches/polygons: the resulting closed polylines can be filled with hatches, and the resulting closed polygons can be filled with fill options.
