TESSELLATION EXAMPLES FULL

The word ‘tessellation’ is derived from the Latin word tessella, which means a small cubical piece of clay, glass, or stone. Each surface of the cube is a regular tessellation of squares. Generate Tessellations performs the function of the Generate Tessellation geoprocessing tool.A Rubik’s cube is an interesting example of tessellations. If you are trying to aggregate points or summarize features in a tessellated grid, Aggregate Points and Summarize Within have built-in options to create tessellations. Other tools may be useful in solving similar but slightly different Use Generate Tessellations to create tessellations determined by a specified extent, shape, and size. These distortions are part of the display only and do not The result is projected to Web Mercator forĭisplay (the default) or to the projection of your custom basemap.Ī Web Mercator projection may cause your results to appearĭistorted, especially for large bins or bins near the polar Projection and parameters are chosen based on the specified geographic extent. Specified size dimensions to ensure that the sizes are equal andĪppropriate for the area of interest. In a custom, area-preserving projected coordinate system using the The distance is calculated as follows, where d is the value of the distance parameter: The size of each tessellation feature or bin can be calculated by specifying a value to represent the area for each bin in square units or by specifying a distance value.

The letters in the IDs represent the columns and the numbers represent the rows, as shown in the following image: The format for the IDs is A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, and so on. The GRID_ID field provides a unique ID for each feature in the output feature class.

The output features contain a GRID_ID field. The extent of the tessellations that will be generated is determined by the Define Extent parameter, which can be the current map extent, the extent of an existing layer, or the extent of an interactively drawn study area. The Use current map extent parameter is unavailable for Generate Tessellations. To record each artifact, a grid of tessellated features is created to cover the entire study area to index and record the precise location of the artifacts.

An archeologist has discovered an ancient burial ground that contains many valuable artifacts and historical treasures.

When added to a map, the cartographer can symbolize the summarized data appropriately to convey the story. Using the Generate Tessellations tool, the cartographer can create regularly shaped areas into which the points can be aggregated and summarized.

A cartographer has dense point-based data and wants to present the data in a map that is visually appealing and easily understood.

Generate Tessellations can be used to automatically create a dataset of appropriately sized bins for the full study area.

For reforestation projects, foresters need to divide harvested areas into bins, or regularly shaped areas, to understand the amount of seedlings and resources needed to reforest the area effectively.

The Generate Tessellations tool creates tessellations, or bins, determined by a specified extent, shape, and size. It will be available in a future release of Map Viewer. This functionality is currently only supported in Map Viewer Classic.
