Get Model Parameter (Geostatisical Analyst)

Summary

Gets model parameter value from an existing geostatistical model source.

Usage

• This tool is generally used in a model or in scripting.

• The geostatistical model source is either a geostatistical layer or a geostatistical model (XML).

• See Set Model Parameter for additional information.

• An example input model source:

   /model[@name = 'Kriging']/model[@name = 'Variogram']/value[@name = 'Nugget']; /model[@name = 'Kriging']/model[@name = 'Variogram']/model[@name = 'VariogramModel']/value[@name = 'Range']

  will return "out_param_value" = 0.345;1127.14

Syntax

GAGetModelParameter_ga (in_ga_model_source, model_param_xpath, out_string)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_ga_model_source	The geostatistical model source to be analyzed.	File; Geostatistical Layer
model_param_xpath	XML path to the required model parameter.	String
out_string	Requested model parameter.	String

Code Sample

GetModelParameter example 1 (Python window)

Extract parameter values from a geostatistical model source.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/gapyexamples/data"
outParam = arcpy.GAGetModelParameter_ga(
    "C:/gapyexamples/data/kriging.lyr",
    "/model[@name = 'Kriging']/model[@name = 'Variogram']/value[@name = 'Nugget']")
print outParam

GetModelParameter example 2 (stand-alone script)

Extract parameter values from a geostatistical model source.

# Name: GAGetModelParameter_Example_02.py
# Description: Gets model parameter value from an existing geostatistical
#              model source.
# Requirements: Geostatistical Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
import arcpy

# Set environment settings
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/gapyexamples/data"

# Set local variables
modelSource = "C:/gapyexamples/data/kriging.lyr"
xmlPath = "/model[@name = 'Kriging']/model[@name = 'Variogram']/value[@name = 'Nugget']"

# Check out the ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("GeoStats")

# Execute GAGetModelParameter
outParam = arcpy.GAGetModelParameter_ga(modelSource, xmlPath)

# Show results
print outParam
