## Description

This tool can be used to create a segmented-vector polygon yield map from a set of harvester points. The user must specify the name of the input points shapefile (`input`), the pass number attribute (`passFieldName`), the output file (`output`), the swatch width (combine head length, `width`), and maximum angular change in direction (`maxChangeInHeading`). If the input vector does not contain a field indicating a unique identifier associated with each swath pass for points, users may use the recreate_pass_lines to estimate swath line structures within the yield points.

For a video tutorial on how to use the recreate_pass_lines, yield_filter and yield_map tools, see this YouTube video. There is also a blog that describes the usage of this tool on the WhiteboxTools homepage.
