Returns a geometry object which represents a convex hull around the input geometry. A convex hull operation is similar to stretching a rubber band around a shape.

Note: If you want to perform a convex hull operation with multiple unconnected shapes (as shown in the diagram above), first use the Spatial Union stage to generate a union, then send that geometry to the Spatial Calculator stage to perform the convex hull operation.
Table 1. Convex Hull Options
Option Name Description
Geometry field (under "Input field") The input field that contains the geometries that you want to wrap in a convex hull operation.

This field also accepts geometries that are generated by stages in Spectrum Spatial Routing, such as a LineString or Polygon.

Geometry field (under "Output field") The output field that you want to contain the geometry returned by Spatial Calculator.
