Interface INgPatternModel

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

INgPatternModelProxy, NgPatternModel

public interface INgPatternModel
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the pattern model.

Description

A pattern is a symbol or a text that is repeated one or more times along a link path route. Adding a pattern along a link path route can be an interesting alternative to the basic graphic effects (color, style, width) that can be set to define the links display. The pattern is drawn on the link according to the rules defined in the model it is based on. There are three types of pattern styles: continuous, discrete, and origin/endpoint patterns. Directed patterns follow the link direction, going from the origin point to the endpoint.

Method Detail

getName

String getName()

                      AutomationException

Name of the pattern model.

Description

This name is defined when the pattern model is created:

- either by calling the INgProjectBuilder CreatePatternModel in the program code,

- or through ArcGIS Schematics Designer.

Parameters:

pVal - The pVal (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getType

int getType()
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Type of the pattern model.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Returns:

A com.esri.arcgis.schematic.esriNgPatternType constant

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getEffect

Object getEffect(int effect)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Returns the effect 'effect' set for the pattern model (see esriNgPatternModelEffect).

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Parameters:

effect - A com.esri.arcgis.schematic.esriNgPatternModelEffect constant (in)

Returns:

A Variant

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

INgPatternModel.removeEffect(int), INgPatternModel.setEffect(int, java.lang.Object), INgPatternModel.isEffectSet(int)

setEffect

void setEffect(int effect,
               Object effValue)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Modifies the effect 'effect' set for the pattern model (see esriNgPatternModelEffect).

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Parameters:

effect - A com.esri.arcgis.schematic.esriNgPatternModelEffect constant (in)

effValue - A Variant (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

See Also:

INgPatternModel.removeEffect(int), INgPatternModel.isEffectSet(int), INgPatternModel.getEffect(int)

removeEffect

void removeEffect(int effect)
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

Removes the effect or restores the default effect 'effect' for the pattern model (see esriNgPatternModelEffect).

Description

Note that when removing an effect that is always set, the pattern model default effect value is automatically restored; and removing an effect that is not set by default, really removes the pattern model effect.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Parameters:

effect - A com.esri.arcgis.schematic.esriNgPatternModelEffect constant (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

See Also:

INgPatternModel.setEffect(int, java.lang.Object), INgPatternModel.isEffectSet(int), INgPatternModel.getEffect(int)

isEffectSet

boolean isEffectSet(int effect)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Indicates if the effect 'effect' related to the pattern model is set (see esriNgPatternModelEffect).

Description

By default, Schematics automatically sets default values for some pattern model effects (see the List of the pattern model effects default values, below). For all these effects, the IsEffectSet method returns True. For the other effects (those that are not automatically set by default), the IsEffectSet method returns True only if the effect has been set:

- Either, by the application manager when defining the pattern model's characteristics in ArcGIS Schematics Designer

- Or, by calling the SetEffect method in the project code.
