Setup Solution Barriers (Territory Design)

Summary

Allows the setup of Solution Barriers for a territory solution.

For example, territories will not intersect a line barrier when Straight Line distance is used, thus creating a "dead zone". Territories derived using Drive Distance or Drive Times, however, do not have dead zones as a road network can skirt around such barriers.

Usage

• Polygonal, line or poly-line, point or multipoint layers can be used as Barriers.

• Barriers is an optional parameter. The pound sign, "#", can be specified instead to remove all Barriers from the Territory Solution.

• Newly specified Barriers will replace existing Barriers layers.

Syntax

SetupSolutionBarriers_TD_td (in_territory_solution_layer, {in_barriers})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_territory_solution_layer	The Territory Solution layer used to setup the parameters.	GP TD Layer
in_barriers [in_barriers,...] (Optional)	The Barriers layer.	feature Layer

Code Sample

SetupSolutionBarriers_TD example (Python window)

l

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

import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
gp.SetupSolutionBarriers_TD("new layer", "C:/Layer1.lyr;C:/Layer2.lyr")

SetupSolutionBarriers_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"
barriers = "C:/Layer1.lyr;C:/Layer2.lyr"

# Execute tool
gp.SetupSolutionBarriers_TD(solution, barriers)

Environments

This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments
