Display Name: CalculateDensity

Description: Creates a density map from point or line features by spreading known quantities of some phenomenon (represented as attributes of the points or lines) across the map. The result is a layer of areas classified from least dense to most dense.

Parameter: outputName

Data Type: GPString
Display Name outputName
Description: The name of the output raster service.The default name is based on the tool name and the input layer name. If the layer already exists, you will be prompted to provide another name.

Parameter: countField

Data Type: GPString
Display Name countField
Description: Provide a field indicating the number of incidents at each location. For example, if you are making a population density raster, and the input points are cities, it would be appropriate to use the population of the city for the count field so cities with larger populations have more impact on the density calculations.

Parameter: searchDistance

Data Type: GPLinearUnit
Display Name searchDistance
Description: Choose the search distance and units for the distance. When calculating the density of a cell, all features within this distance will be used in the density calculation for that cell.The units can be Kilometers, Meters, Miles, or Feet.The default units are Meters.

Parameter: outputAreaUnits

Data Type: GPString
Display Name outputAreaUnits
Description: Choose the area units. Density is count divided by area, and this parameter sets the units of the area in the density calculation.Square Meters—Calculate the density per square meter.Square Kilometers—Calculate the density per square kilometer.Square Feet—Calculate the density per square foot.Square Miles—Calculate the density per square mile.
