Scalar to Vector
Tool description
The Scalar to Vector tool converts a pair of scalar datasets to a vector dataset. The input components can be Cartesian (X,Y) or spherical (magnitude/direction). In the case of sperical input components, the direction component uses the Cartesian direction convention (positive X axis is 0.0 with the direction increasing in the CCW direction).
Direction datasets which are relative to different conventions (Meteorologic or Oceanographic) would need to be converted to Cartesian using the Angle Convention tool.
Input parameters
- Input type – Specify the type of conversion that will take place (Cartesian or Spherical).
This defines the way the tool will interpret the other input parameters.
- "Vx and Vy" – This option will designate the input dataset values as Vx and Vy.
- "Magnitude and Direction" This option will designate the input dataset values as magnitude and direction.
- Input Vx or magnitude scalar dataset – Select the scalar dataset to use for the Vx or magnitude input.
- Input Vy or direction scalar dataset – Select the scalar dataset to use for the Vy or direction (Cartesian) input.
Output parameters
- Output vector dataset name – Enter the name for the new vector dataset.
