The number of territories needs to be specified manually for the User Defined option.
Calculation of the optimal number of territories requires constraints to be set. Constraints can be based on a numeric value or a distance.
Syntax
arcpy.td.SolveTerritories(in_territory_solution, level, method, {number_territories}, {quality})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_territory_solution | Territory solution used to solve territories. | Group Layer; Feature Dataset; String |
level | Level used to solve territories. | String |
method | Specifies the method used when calculating the number of territories.
| String |
number_territories (Optional) | Number of territories to be specified. | Long |
quality (Optional) | An integer between 1 and 200 that determines the performance of a solve operation. A lower value will provide better performance but quality may be lower. The default value is 100. | Long |
Derived Output
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
out_territory_solution | The updated territory solution. | Group Layer |
