Description

Combine several polygons into a single polygon by modifying the PID and SID indices.

Usage

Arguments

Details

This function accepts a PolySet containing one or more polygons (PIDs), each with one or more components or holes (SIDs). The SID column need not exist in the input. The function combines these polygons into a single polygon by simply renumbering the PID and SID indices. The resulting PolySet contains a single PID (with the value 1) and uses the SID value to differentiate between polygons, their components, and holes.

Value

PolySet, possibly with the addition of an SID column if it did not already exist. The function may also reorder columns such that PID, SID, POS, X and Y appear first, in that order.
