All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class TransposeFields
extends AbstractGPTool

Shifts data entered in fields or columns into rows in a table or feature class. The Transpose Fields tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• By default, the output is a geodatabase table. However, if you want to transpose the fields in a feature class you can choose to either output a geodatabase table or output a feature class with the transposed fields. To output a feature class you should choose the Shape field under Attribute fields.
• The output must be a geodatabase table or feature class. A shapefile is not a supported format for the output feature class.
• ObjectID (or OID, FID, and so on) should not be set as attribute fields.

Constructor Detail

TransposeFields

public TransposeFields()

Creates the Transpose Fields tool with defaults.

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

TransposeFields

public TransposeFields(Object inTable,
                       Object inField,
                       Object outTable,
                       String inTransposedFieldName,
                       String inValueFieldName)

Creates the Transpose Fields 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:

inTable - the input feature class or table for which the fields containing data values will be transposed.

inField - the fields or columns containing data values in the input table that need to be transposed. depending on your needs, you can select multiple fields that need to be transposed. For the fields that are selected to be transposed, a corresponding value has to be specified. By default, the value is the same as the field name. However, you can choose to overwrite it and specify your own value. For example, if the field names of the fields you want to transpose are Pop1991, Pop1992, etc., by default the values for these field will be the same i.e., Pop1991, Pop1992, etc. However, you can choose to specify your own values such as 1991, 1992, etc.

outTable - the output feature class or table. The output feature class can only be stored in a geodatabase. The output feature class or table will contain the transposed field, a value field, and any number of attribute fields specified that need to be inherited from the input table.

inTransposedFieldName - the name of the field that will be created to store field name values of the fields that are selected to be transposed. Any valid field name can be used.

inValueFieldName - the name of the value field that will be created to store the values from the input table. Any valid field name can be set, as long as it does not conflict with existing field names from the input table or feature class.
