Network Attributes

Récapitulatif

Provides information about network attributes that are defined for a given network dataset.

Discussion

For a given network attribute, edgeDirectionX, sourceNameX, evaluatorTypeX, and dataX are dynamic properties where X indicates a particular evaluator. The possible range of values for X depends on the evaluatorCount property. For example, if a network attribute named DriveTime has two evaluators as indicated by the evaluatorCount property, the DriveTime attribute will support edgeDirection0, sourceName0, evaluatorType0, data0, edgeDirection1, sourceName1, evaluatorType1, and data1 properties.

Similarly, for a given network attribute, parameterNameX, parameterTypeX, and parameterDefaultValueX are dynamic properties where X indicates a particular parameter. The possible range of values for X depends on the parameterCount property. For example, if a network attribute named DriveTime has two parameters as indicated by the parameterCount property, the DriveTime attribute will support parameterName0, parameterType0, parameterDefaultValue0, parameterName1, parameterType1,and parameterDefaultValue1 properties.

Propriétés

PropriétéExplicationType de données
name
(Lecture seule)

The name of the network attribute.

String
units
(Lecture seule)

The units for the network attribute. Units of a cost attribute are either distance or time units—for example, centimeters, meters, miles, minutes, seconds. Descriptors, hierarchies, and restrictions have unknown units.

String
usageType
(Lecture seule)

The network attribute usage type. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Cost
  • Restriction
  • Descriptor
  • Hierarchy

String
dataType
(Lecture seule)

The network attribute data type. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Boolean
  • Integer
  • Float
  • Double

String
useByDefault
(Lecture seule)

Indicates if the network attribute is used by default on a newly created network analysis layer.

Only one cost attribute in the network dataset can be set to be used by default. Descriptor attributes cannot be used by default.

Boolean
defaultEdgeEvaluatorType
(Lecture seule)

The default edge evaluator type used by the network dataset. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Constant
  • Script
  • Function

String
defaultEdgeData
(Lecture seule)

The value for the network attribute that is associated by default for all the edge network sources in the network dataset. In case of a script evaluator the entire expression is returned. The data type of the returned value depends upon the data type and the default edge evaluator type associated with the network attribute.

Variant
defaultJunctionEvaluatorType
(Lecture seule)

The default junction evaluator type used by the network dataset. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Constant
  • Script
  • Function

String
defaultJunctionData
(Lecture seule)

The value for the network attribute that is associated by default for all the junction network sources in the network dataset. In case of a script evaluator the entire expression is returned. The data type of the returned value depends upon the data type and the default junction evaluator type associated with the network attribute.

Variant
defaultTurnEvaluatorType
(Lecture seule)

The network dataset default turn evaluator type. The property is available only if the network dataset supports turns which can be determined using the supportsTurns property. This property returns the following keywords:

  • Constant
  • Script
  • Global Turn Delay
  • Function

String
defaultTurnData
(Lecture seule)

The value for the network attribute that is associated by default for all the turn network sources in the network dataset. In case of a script evaluator the entire expression is returned. The property is available only if the network dataset supports turns which can be determined using the supportsTurns property. The data type of the returned value depends upon the data type and the default turn evaluator type associated with the network attribute.

Variant
evaluatorCount
(Lecture seule)

The total number of evaluators used to derive values from the given network source for this network attribute.

Integer
edgeDirectionX
(Lecture seule)

The direction for the edge network sources along which the evaluator assigns the value for the network attribute. There is no direction associated with junction and turn network sources. edgeDirectionX is a dynamic property. This property returns the following keywords:

  • AlongDigitizedDirection
  • AgainstDigitizedDirection
  • None
String
sourceNameX
(Lecture seule)

The name of the network source for which the evaluator calculates the value of a given network attribute. sourceNameX is a dynamic property.

String
evaluatorTypeX
(Lecture seule)

The type of evaluator. evaluatorTypeX is a dynamic property. This property returns the following keywords.

  • Field
  • Constant
  • Script
  • Function
  • NetworkEdgeTraffic
String
dataX
(Lecture seule)

The value of the network attribute assigned to a network source using the evaluator. In case of a script evaluator the entire expression is returned. The data type of the returned value depends upon the data type and the evaluator type associated with the network attribute. dataX is a dynamic property.

Variant
parameterCount
(Lecture seule)

The total number of attribute parameters defined for the network attribute.

Integer
parameterNameX
(Lecture seule)

The name of the parameter.

parameterNameX is a dynamic property that is supported only if parameterCount value is greater than 0.

String
parameterTypeX
(Lecture seule)

The data type for the parameter.

parameterTypeX is a dynamic property that is supported only if parameterCount value is greater than 0. This property returns the following keywords

  • String
  • Short
  • Integer
  • Float
  • Double
  • Date
  • Boolean
  • Object
  • String[]
  • Short[]
  • Integer[]
  • Float[]
  • Double[]
  • Date[]
  • Boolean[]

String
parameterDefaultValueX
(Lecture seule)

The default value for the parameter.

parameterDefaultValueX is a dynamic property that is supported only if parameterCount value is greater than 0. The data type of the returned value depends upon the data type of the attribute parameter.
