I have a .csv file that includes x and y coordinates as well as ShapeSTArea and ShapeSTLength features. (see below) enter image description here

I'm hoping to turn this .csv file into a shapefile that instead of displaying points from the coordinates (first image below), it displays the polygons containing these points (second example image below).

  1. enter image description here
  2. enter image description here

Is this something I can do with the ShapeSTArea and ShapeSTLength features provided in the data?

    There are an infinite number of potential polygons with the same centroid, area, and perimeter. You can't get much more than an oval with the information available.

  • The spatial information doesn't really transfer to a CSV; the Shape fields are binary/proprietary. A CSV with X and Y values could be used to re-create points but not polygons or lines. It looks like this CSV came from polygons; can you get these?

  • Thanks for your responses. That makes sense that I am unable to recreate the polygons from this information. I will look into getting the original shape file to produce them!
