Interface INetwork

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:

INetworkProxy, IStreetNetworkProxy, IUtilityNetwork2Proxy, IUtilityNetworkGENProxy, IUtilityNetworkProxy, StreetNetwork, UtilityNetwork

public interface INetwork
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that give general information about the network and its elements.

Remarks

To obtain a reference to the logical network of a geometric network you first need to obtain a reference to the geometric network. An example of this can be found in the help for IGeometricNetwork.

Once you have a reference to the geometric network you can obtain a reference to the logical network using the IGeometricNetwork::Network property.

The INetwork interface is on the Network abstract class, which contains other interfaces for use with logical networks:

INetworkUpdate - Used for starting updating sessions in the logical network.
INetElements - Used for getting element ID's (EID's) and verify valid elements.
INetSchema - Used for getting element classes and in a logical network.
INetSchemaEdit - Used for editing the schema of the logical network such as adding weights.
INetAttributes - Used for getting weight values and enabled/disabled state of elements.
INetAttributesEdit - Used for changing weight values and disabled/enabling elements.
INetTopology - Used for seeing what elements are connect to another element.
INetTopologyEdit - Used for adding and deleting elements from the logical network.

When To Use

Use the INetwork interface when you want to query the network for general information such as the status of the network or the number of edges in your network. You can also use this interface to create a forwardstar object, which is used for traversing the network.

JunctionCount returns a count of all the junctions in the network.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The junctionCount

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getEdgeCount

int getEdgeCount()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Number of edges in the network.

Remarks

EdgeCount returns a count of all the edges within the network.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The edgeCount

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getTurnCount

int getTurnCount()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Number of turns in the network.

Remarks

TurnCount returns a count of all the turns within a StreetNetwork. For a UtilityNetwork, TurnCount will return 0.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The turnCount

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getMaxDegree

int getMaxDegree()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Maximum degree of a junction.

Remarks

The MaxDegree is the maximum number of edges connected to any given junction in the network. This property can be used to determine if there are incorrect connections within the network. For instance, in a Gas Network it is unlikely that there would ever be more than 4 edges attached to a junction. If MaxDegree returned a number greater than 4, it would indicate a problem in the network.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The maxDegree

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getMaxTurn

int getMaxTurn()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Maximum number of turns associated with a junction.

Remarks

MaxTurn returns the maximum number of turns assigned to any given junction within a StreetNetwork. For a UtilityNetwork, MaxTurn will always return 0.

Product Availability

HonorState refers to elements in your network that are enabled/disabled. If you set HonorState to True then the ForwardStar will only return elements that are not disabled. If you specify False then any element that is connected to the element you are accessing will return a ForwardStar.
