Automatically Edit Extracted Features
After you extract features, you can apply ENVI’s automatic post-processing cleanup tool to create intersections between polylines that cross one another and to correct overshooting (dangling) polylines.
- Select one of the following:
- Make the layer to edit the active layer, then from the Vector Parameters menu bar, select Options > Linear Feature Cleanup.
- Make the layer to edit the active layer, right-click in the display group, and select Linear Feature Cleanup.
-
Right-click on the layer to edit in the Vector Parameters dialog, and select Linear Feature Cleanup.
The Linear Feature Cleanup Parameters dialog appears.
- The Dangle Length Tolerance (Pixels) default value is 20.00. ENVI removes any dangling polylines shorter than this value during automatic feature cleanup. Change the value if needed.
- Click OK. ENVI removes any dangling polylines and creates intersections between crossing polylines. When complete, ENVI overlays the modified layer on the original layer (using a different Current Layer color). In the Vector Parameters dialog, ENVI adds the new layer, named original_layername_clean, to the Available Vector Layers list.
If desired, you can close the original layer and/or rename the new layer.
