gvSIG-Desktop 1.9. User manual

by Victor Acevedo last modified 2011-04-19 16:42

This tool is useful for drawing polygons adjacent to existing ones, thus avoiding having to digitise all the vertices along the common boundary between the polygons.

Therefore it it only necessary to digitise the new sides of the polygon; the tool will automatically generate the common boundaries.

Apart from saving digitising or drawing time, this tool also eliminates overlaps and gaps between two polygons sharing a common boundary.

To use the tool first start editing the layer you wish to work with, and then activate the Autocomplete polygons icon icon.

Example of use of the tool

The new polygon can now be drawn without having to digitise the nodes of common boundaries, as shown in the figure below.

Example of use of the tool

Once all sides have been drawn, double-click the mouse or press "E" (end) to terminate the polygon. The figure below shows how the new polygon has been clipped to the common boundaries of the existing polygons.
