In a custom, area-preserving projected coordinate system using the The distance is calculated as follows, where d is the value of the distance parameter: The size of each tessellation feature or bin can be calculated by specifying a value to represent the area for each bin in square units or by specifying a distance value. The letters in the IDs represent the columns and the numbers represent the rows, as shown in the following image: The format for the IDs is A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, and so on. The GRID_ID field provides a unique ID for each feature in the output feature class. The output features contain a GRID_ID field. The extent of the tessellations that will be generated is determined by the Define Extent parameter, which can be the current map extent, the extent of an existing layer, or the extent of an interactively drawn study area. The Use current map extent parameter is unavailable for Generate Tessellations. To record each artifact, a grid of tessellated features is created to cover the entire study area to index and record the precise location of the artifacts.

An archeologist has discovered an ancient burial ground that contains many valuable artifacts and historical treasures.

When added to a map, the cartographer can symbolize the summarized data appropriately to convey the story. Using the Generate Tessellations tool, the cartographer can create regularly shaped areas into which the points can be aggregated and summarized.

A cartographer has dense point-based data and wants to present the data in a map that is visually appealing and easily understood.

Generate Tessellations can be used to automatically create a dataset of appropriately sized bins for the full study area. For reforestation projects, foresters need to divide harvested areas into bins, or regularly shaped areas, to understand the amount of seedlings and resources needed to reforest the area effectively.The Generate Tessellations tool creates tessellations, or bins, determined by a specified extent, shape, and size. It will be available in a future release of Map Viewer. This functionality is currently only supported in Map Viewer Classic.
