<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your grid is of a very low resolution compared to
the precision you want to get out of the polygon file. The reason it smooths
them is because it assumed your features are not really square in nature, and it
tries to compensate for that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am quite sure that if you increase the resolution
of your grid (simply by blowing it up), it will fix the problem to a large
extent. If you fit 10 pixels in every pixel you have now, it will not cut across
all those 10 pixels.</FONT></DIV>

[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] convert grid to polygon without smooth</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to convert grid theme to polygon theme but ArcView 3.2a
is<BR>doing this with some smooth by default ( see the attached image or<BR><A
href="http://geocities.com/gislandia/grid2poly/grid-to-poly-with-smooth.jpg">http://geocities.com/gislandia/grid2poly/grid-to-poly-with-smooth.jpg</A>
).<BR>Is it possible to convert grid theme to polygon theme without smooth
in<BR>the way that the output polygon theme has the same shape and the
same<BR>area size as the input grid theme?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,<BR>--<BR>Ma</DIV>
