Re: [GRASS-user] Triangles polygons with Arc*

2008-06-09 Thread maning sambale
To add info to this thread:
Some arc users said it its dependent on the snapping threshold or
smoothing option in the polygon creation.  Polygons will be blocky
when this options are not enabled.

cheers,

 Just curious if anybody encountered this issue with Arc*:

 it's a common problem.
It does seem to be.

 short answer: TINs stink. Raster maps created from TINs stink more.

My colleague used SRTM DEM converted to grid format of Arc
He mentioned that it is fairly common when you convert raster grids in
arc to vectors (shapefiles).  Especially with very small areas like a
2-3 pixels.   Will look into this further.

To all the others who gave me a list of Arc mailing list thanks!  I am
reading a few right now.

cheers,

maning

ok, then try and use GRASS's r.contour on the original data to create the 
vector instead of Arc's version and see if it is any nicer.

 This sounds like a question for the Arc List, or their tech support?
I know, are there any public Arc list out there (can't seem to find
one with Google)?  I'm not an arc user but my colleague sent me this
shapefile so we can verify both processing results with GRASS and
ArcGis.  I was hoping somebody on the list encountered this issue.
