Determines if a percentage polygon overlap has occurred between an input polygon and polygon objects in a spatial file and, if so, returns the polygon and the percentage overlap with the input polygon.

Syntax

05 GDL-FIND-POLYGON-OVERLAP-PCT.
      10 GDL-FPOP-HANDLE PIC S9(09) BINARY.
      10 GDL-FPOP-POLYGON PIC S9(09) BINARY.
      10 GDL-FPOP-OUTPUT-SHAPE PIC S9(09) BINARY.
      10 GDL-FPOP-OVERLAP COMP-2.
      *
      CALL "GDLFPOP"
      USING GDL-FIND-POLYGON-OVERLAP-PCT, GDL-RETURN-CODE.

Arguments

GDL-FPOP-HANDLE

The gdlFileHandle returned by GDLOSF (GDL-OSF- SPATIAL-HANDLE). Input.

GDL-FPOP-POLYGON

The polygon with which to determine overlap (GDL-GES- SURFACE). Input.

GDL-FPOP-OUTPUT-SHAPE

A pointer to the overlapping polygon. Output.

GDL-FPOP-OVERLAP

The percentage of overlap. Output.

Return Values

GDL-OK Success
GDL-ERROR Unknown internal error occurred or GDL-FPOP-HANDLE was not properly opened by GDLOSF
GDL-NOT-FOUND No overlapping object is found
GDL-WRONG-TYPE GDL-FPOP-POLYGON is not a polygon

Prerequisites

GDLOSF

Alternates

GDLFPO - For better performance when percent overlap is not needed.

Notes

Following instances of this procedure, you should call GDLSF with the output polygon ( GDL-FPOP-OUTPUT-SHAPE) when you are finished using the output polygon to release system resources.

The percentage overlap determines the confidence rating.

The following diagram illustrates a polygon and the percentage overlap with an input polygon:
