This tool converts a raster stream file into a vector file. The user must specify an input raster streams file (streams), and an input D8 flow pointer file (d8_pointer). Streams in the input raster streams file are denoted by cells containing any positive, non-zero integer. A field in the output vector's database file, called STRM_VAL, will correspond to this positive integer value. The database file will also have a field for the length of each link in the stream network. The flow pointer file must be calculated from a DEM with all topographic depressions and flat areas removed and must be calculated using the D8 flow pointer algorithm (d8_pointer). The output vector will contain PolyLine features.
