Summary
Creates a polygon or line choropleth feature class with the corresponding coincident point counts.
Usage
- When Category Field parameter is used, the tool generates a new field for each unique value found within the Category Field. The new field contains a count of Point Join Features that are coincident with the Polygon or Line Target Features and that match the unique value. Additionally, a total count for all unique values is calculated into the Join_Count field.
- When a line feature class is used in the Polygon or Line Target Features parameter a Standard or Advanced License is required.
- The Category Field parameter requires an Advanced License.
- By default, the output feature class is symbolized by the Join_Count field. Category based analysis can be performed by symbolizing the output feature class based on the new count fields generated when the Category Field parameter is used.
Syntax
IncidentCount_crime (Polygon_or_Line_Target_Features, Point Join Features, Output_Feature_Class, {Category_Field}, {Search_Radius})
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
| Polygon or Line Target Features | Polygon or line features to which coincident point counts will be calculated. | Feature Layer |
| Point Join Features | Point features coincident with the input polygon or line features. | Feature Layer |
| Output Feature Class | Output choropleth count feature class symbolized by total count. | Feature Class |
| Category Field (Optional) |
Field containing categorical attribute used to split point counts. Additional fields containing counts for each unique category will be generated. Example: Crime type |
Field |
| Search Radius (Optional) | Maximum linear distance from the target line features that a point feature will be considered coincident. | Linear Unit |
