Summary
The GT_JUNCTION command in GeoTools automatically identifies and marks junction points in a network of lines, polylines, arcs, and other linear objects. A junction is defined as a location where three or more segments meet and branch out in different directions, making this tool highly useful for network analysis in road design, utilities, and GIS applications.
GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Identify -> Mark Junction Points in a Network of Linear Objects
Key Features Include:
- Identifies and marks junction points where three or more linear elements converge.
- Works with lines, polylines, arcs, and other linear objects to detect branching nodes.
- Differentiates from GT_INTERSECT, which marks all segment intersections, by focusing on explicit junction nodes.
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Ideal for roadway planning, utility networks, GIS mapping, and connectivity analysis.
Benefits:
With GT_JUNCTION, users can efficiently analyze network structures, ensuring accurate detection of critical branching points for infrastructure and spatial planning.
