polygonsToMaxInscribedCircle

Polygons to Maximum Inscribed Circles

Creates from each polygon in the input feature class a circular polygon representing the circle with maximum radius that can be inscribed in the input polygon. The center of the is located in the "deepest" point of each polygon. Attributes of the original features are transferred to the resulting polygons.

Inputs:

A Polyline, Polygon or Multipoint feature class

Outputs:

A polygon feature class. All attributes of the original features are preserved
A new field [ET_Radius] is added and populated for each polygon.

Note:

The function uses an interpolation algorithm and the precision of the calculation might not be 100%
