Name

son — Sonar data gridding

...

The son ppg is a snapping algorithm of input points to the grid result. The algorithm will snap free point data into a grid of size nx ny. The snap gridding will make defined grid nodes of each node that is closest to an input point. If more than one point are sorted to a node, the node value will be the average of the point values. A count grid telling the number of coincident points can be generated.

Arguments

No arguments, the grid will have the same number of rows and columns as the last grid that set the @nrow @ncol variables.

inc xinc yinc

Create grid model grid with increments xinc and yinc .

nx ny

Create a grid with nx times ny grid cells.

long num

Create a grid with num nodes for the longest side. Use the same increment for the shortest side.

tri

The three nearest nodes will be used.

all | four

All four nodes surrounding a point will be used.

eig

All eigth nodes surrounding a point including the nearest will be used.

eigone

All eigth nodes surrounding a point will be used and the value 1 will be placed.

low

If coincident points, the lowest will be used and placed in the nearest node.

hi

If coincident points, the highest will be used and placed in the nearest node.

dob

Double check that the first point will be placed in the nearest node and the next coinciding in the three nearest.

auto

The x and y increments are found from the input points. Useful for cases where the input points already are orginized in a grid system.

count

The generated grid will have the counting of coincident points.

mrf

Make reference grid (boundary grid) and reference line around a point set. The reference grid is saved in active and the reference line is saved in workspace refLine. Look at the options for detailed control.

mrf num

Create a boundary grid with num nodes for the sides. Points within the boundary grid will define the boundary.

mrf bou nx ny [nodraw]

Create a boundary grid with nx ny nodes for the sides. Points within the boundary grid will define the boundary. The nodraw option will prevent the derived boundary line to de drawn.

mrf dis distance

Create a boundary grid so that points separated less than distance will be within the same boundary.

mrf ... abx

Will remove interior boundaries inside other boundaries in the set of boundary lines.
