Setup Level Distance Constraints (Territory Design)

Summary

Allows the setup of distance constraints at the specified level.

Usage

• The Territory Level format must be as follows: Level_Name[Level_Index]

• The Distance Units parameter depends on the value of Measure Type. This value can be modified by UI or the SetupLevelParameter tool (see in_measure_type parameter).

• Maximum Distance, Minimum Distance and Minimum Distance Between Centers values must be greater than zero.

Syntax

SetupLevelDistanceConstraints_TD_td (in_territory_solution_layer, in_level, {in_distance_units}, {in_maximum_distance}, {in_minimum_distance}, {in_centers_minimum_distance})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_territory_solution_layer	The Territory Solution layer used to setup the parameters.	GP TD Layer
in_level	The Territory Level to modify.	String
in_distance_units (Optional)	The Distance Units for the distance constraints. STRAIGHT_LINE_DISTANCE —value of Measure Type: MILES KILOMETERS FEET YARDS NAUTICAL_MILES METERS DECIMAL_DEGREES DRIVE_TIME —value of Measure Type: DAYS HOURS MINUTES SECONDS	String
in_maximum_distance (Optional)	The Maximum distance from a territory's center.	Double
in_minimum_distance (Optional)	The Minimum distance from the center of a nearby territory.	Double
in_centers_minimum_distance (Optional)	The Minimum distance between territory centers.	Double

Code Sample

SetupLevelDistanceConstraints_TD example (Python window)

The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the tool in immediate mode.

import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
gp.SetupLevelDistanceConstraints_TD("new layer", "Territories[1]", "MILES", 100, 40, 80)

SetupLevelDistanceConstraints_TD example 2 (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the tool.

# Import system modules
import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()

# Set local variables
solution = "new layer"
level = "Territories[1]"
distanceUnits = "MILES"
maximumDistance = 100
minimumDistance = 40
minimumCentersDistance = 80

# Execute tool
gp.SetupLevelDistanceConstraints_TD(solution, level, maximumDistance, minimumDistance, minimumCentersDistance)

Environments

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments
