How do I create a polygon from raster in ArcGIS?

Navigate to ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Features > Feature To Polygon. Run the Feature to Polygon tool on the fishnet output from step 2, with the Raster to Points output specified in the Label Features field. This gives the final polygon which has a field named GRID_CODE with the cell values of the raster.
 

How do you turn a raster into a polygon?

Quote from video: The raster to polygon tool is used to convert a raster to a vector in this case a polygon. What you need to do here is ensure that your input raster is of the integer.

How do I make a polygon from points in GIS?

Create regular polygon features

  1. Add your data and configure settings for editing.
  2. On the ribbon, click the Edit tab.
  3. In the Create Features pane, click a polygon feature template.
  4. Click the Regular Polygon tool .
  5. Click the map to create the center point.
  6. Move the pointer and click the map to specify a distance.

How do you turn a shapefile into a polygon?

Quote from video: So right clicking selecting new good this additional set of options I'll select shape file this gives me the option to name my shape file I'm just gonna abbreviate.

Can you vectorize a raster?

Vectorization: Convert Raster to Vector



Double-click the tool and select the raster that you want to convert to vector. From here, you’ll have to select the output of the raster to a point, line or polygon. After clicking “Run”, the vectorized raster will appear in the table of contents.
 

How do you convert a float raster to a polygon?

On the ArcGIS Pro ribbon, click Analysis > Tools to open the Geoprocessing pane.

  1. Remove the decimal values of the floating type raster.
  2. Convert the floating type raster to an integer type raster.
  3. Convert the integer type raster to a polygon feature class.
  4. Restore the decimal values of the polygon feature class.

 



Can a shapefile be a raster?

Usage. Any feature class (geodatabase, shapefile, or coverage) containing polygon features can be converted to a raster dataset. The input field type determines the type of output raster. If the field is integer, the output raster will be integer; if it is floating point, the output will be floating point.

Are polygons raster or vector?

Vector data

Vector data represents geographic data symbolized as points, lines, or polygons. Raster data represents geographic data as a matrix of cells that each contains an attribute value. While the area of different polygon shapes in a data set can differ, each cell in a raster data set is the same cell.

How do I convert a raster image to a vector in Arcgis?

Click on Raster ‣ Conversion ‣ Polygonize (Raster to Vector). The tool dialog will appear. Change the field name (describing the values of the raster) to suitable .

How do I convert raster to shapefile in ArcGIS?

The Export Raster pane allows you to export the entire raster dataset, mosaic dataset, image service or the portion in the display.



  1. In the Contents pane, right-click the raster layer you want to export, click Data, and click Export Raster.
  2. Choose the appropriate output as required in the Output Raster Dataset field.

How do I create a polygon image?

Design Your Own Polygon Art

  1. Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) and make a rough selection around your subject.
  2. With the selection active, go to Edit > Copy and then to Select > Deselect.
  3. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color.
  4. Go to Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place.

How do I create a polygon layer in ArcGIS?

To create a polygon feature class, right-click the database, click New, and click Feature Class. Drag the feature class onto the map. A feature template with default settings is automatically generated for the new layer.
