comment Creating maps programmatically using ArcObjects. Adding legends, scale bars, north arrows?
This is perfect - I've never heard the term 'map surrounds' used before in the context of ArcMap.

comment Raster Version of Spatial Join (one to many)
I'm removing my original comment because it was too generalized and my terminology may be confusing. My point was, don't treat raster and vector data as the same thing - the same terminology (e.g. attribute table) may be used to describe a similar thing, but there may be nuances to that thing that make them different (e.g. indices and tuples vs. a vector attribute table).

comment Possibly corrupt polyline file is causing making polygons problematic.
A random thought - try to use the Simplify Line tool (resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//…) first. Reducing the number of vertices and then running the Check Geometry function may yield some results.

comment At the northpole, which way is east?
Fair enough. As you say, the cardinal directions are undefined and therefore the terminology needed for an answer differs - it's no longer appropriate to use the word 'direction' or 'way'. Therefore, in answer to the original question, east is not defined while at the North Pole. The concept of east/west doesn't apply.

comment At the northpole, which way is east?
Perhaps 'bearing' should be used instead of 'direction'. I merely meant that in terms of North/East/South/West, the only bearing you can travel from the North Pole is South.

+1 Thank you for providing such thorough answers to some of the more complex questions on GIS SE.

Excellent point - less code is usually better.

comment Create Text files from a loop with Python?
Upvotes for everyone! I feel this answer is just as useful as mine since it offers an alternate solution with more of a direct GIS focus.

comment Count consecutive points in a polygon
This is a bit confusing. Could you post an image with a sample of your data? Do you have multiple point files? Is a new point created every time an animal enters the 'polygon'?
