Constructor Detail

Near

public Near()
Creates the Near tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.


Near

public Near(Object inCover,
            Object nearCover,
            Object outCover)
Creates the Near tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:
inCover - the coverage containing points from which distances are calculated to each closest arc, point, or node in the .
nearCover - the line or point coverage whose features are used to calculate distances from each input cover point. This must be different from the input cover.
outCover - the coverage to be created. The is copied to the , then NEAR is performed on the .
Method Detail

getInCover

public Object getInCover()
Returns the Input Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage containing points from which distances are calculated to each closest arc, point, or node in the . This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Input Coverage

setInCover

public void setInCover(Object inCover)
Sets the Input Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the coverage containing points from which distances are calculated to each closest arc, point, or node in the . This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
inCover - the coverage containing points from which distances are calculated to each closest arc, point, or node in the .

getNearCover

public Object getNearCover()
Returns the Near Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the line or point coverage whose features are used to calculate distances from each input cover point. This must be different from the input cover. This is a required parameter.

Returns:
the Near Coverage

setNearCover

public void setNearCover(Object nearCover)
Sets the Near Coverage parameter of this tool . This parameter is the line or point coverage whose features are used to calculate distances from each input cover point. This must be different from the input cover. This is a required parameter.

Parameters:
nearCover - the line or point coverage whose features are used to calculate distances from each input cover point. This must be different from the input cover.

getOutCover

public Object getOutCover()

Parameters:
outCover - the coverage to be created. The is copied to the , then NEAR is performed on the .

getFeatureType

public String getFeatureType()
Returns the Feature Type parameter of this tool . This parameter is the type of feature that will be searched from points to find the nearest feature and calculate the distance between them. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Feature Type

setFeatureType

public void setFeatureType(String featureType)
Sets the Feature Type parameter of this tool . This parameter is the type of feature that will be searched from points to find the nearest feature and calculate the distance between them. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:
featureType - the type of feature that will be searched from points to find the nearest feature and calculate the distance between them.

getSearchRadius

public double getSearchRadius()
Returns the Search Radius parameter of this tool . This parameter is the maximum distance in coverage units between input cover features and near cover features for which distance and near cover internal number will be determined. if no near cover feature is within the search radius of a given input cover point or line, both the internal number and distance output by NEAR will be zero. the default search radius is the width or height of the near coverage BND divided by 100, whichever is larger. This default search radius is used whenever the search radius argument is set to zero or skipped. This is an optional parameter.

Returns:
the Search Radius

setSearchRadius

public void setSearchRadius(double searchRadius)
Sets the Search Radius parameter of this tool . This parameter is the maximum distance in coverage units between input cover features and near cover features for which distance and near cover internal number will be determined. if no near cover feature is within the search radius of a given input cover point or line, both the internal number and distance output by NEAR will be zero. the default search radius is the width or height of the near coverage BND divided by 100, whichever is larger. This default search radius is used whenever the search radius argument is set to zero or skipped. This is an optional parameter.

Parameters:
searchRadius - the maximum distance in coverage units between input cover features and near cover features for which distance and near cover internal number will be determined. if no near cover feature is within the search radius of a given input cover point or line, both the internal number and distance output by NEAR will be zero. the default search radius is the width or height of the near coverage BND divided by 100, whichever is larger. This default search radius is used whenever the search radius argument is set to zero or skipped.
