GeoTools v 5.20

1. New command added - GT_CCPOLY (Polyline Tools) - The GT_CCPOLY command is used to create closed polylines from a mass of inter-networked polylines, lines, arcs and circles. It is nothing but an automated version of the BPOLY command and it applies BPOLY at regular intervals in X and Y directions along a rectangular grid and creates closed polylines (resulting from BPOLY) from the adjoining boundary set. The program uses a parameter called 'Scan Window Size' to determine the BPOLY sampling interval. Needless to say, the GT_CCPOLY can be quite slow in its operation because if has no intelligent way to know how many unique closed polylines would be created. Since the BPOLY sampling is done at each regular interval, the program takes more time if the sampling interval is smaller and vice versa. Nevertheless, the program can be useful in many cases. Use it judiciously by applying a scan window size that works best with a speed and accuracy.

2. New command added - GT_AMAPBREAK - Break object but retain object data in broken parts - The GT_AMAPBREAK command is exactly the AutoCAD Break command but it ensures that both the broken parts of the object retain their object data. This command is provided to overcome the limitation in the standard Break command ob object data which results in one of the broken pieces losing it object data.
