This tool will measure the edge proportion, i.e. the proportion of grid cells in a patch that are located along the patch's boundary, for an input raster image (input). Edge proportion is an indicator of polygon shape complexity and elongation. The user must specify the name of the output raster file (output), which will be raster layer containing the input features assigned the edge proportion. The user may also optionally choose to output text data for easy input to a spreadsheet or database.

Objects in the input raster are designated by their unique identifiers. Identifier values must be positive, non-zero whole numbers.
