Code and dataset for flow map creation.

Code and dataset for flow map creation.

The Code is developed to support the findings of our submitted paper entitled "Linear building pattern recognition in topographical maps using convex polygon decomposition"The tools were implemented in C# on ArcGIS 10.2 software (ESRI, USA), each tool has a separate form to set the input, output and parameters for the algorithms.The tool for linear pattern recognition, and 4 tools are included. As follows(1) Tool for proximity graph generation based on CDT and skeletons considering roads, including CDT, DT like proximity graph, GG, RNG, MST and NNG.(2) Tool for parameter computation for building characteristics, including 24 parameters of building polygons.
