Generate Desire Lines

Uso

  • The store layer and customer layer must be a point feature class.

  • Creating desire lines with drive time and drive distance will take longer than using the straight-line (Euclidean) distance method.

  • The output shows the spatial distribution between the Store Layer and the Customer Layer and calculates the distance values between each store and customer.

Sintaxis

DesireLines(in_stores_layer, in_customers_layer, out_feature_class, store_id_field, link_field, {distance_type}, {units}, {cutoff}, {travel_direction}, {time_of_day}, {time_zone})
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
in_stores_layer

The distance beyond which customers will be considered outliers and therefore excluded from consideration during desire line creation.

Double
travel_direction
(Opcional)

Specifies whether to measure travel times or distances from stores to demand points or from demand points to stores.

  • TOWARD_STORESDirection of travel is from stores to demand points. This is the default.

Date
time_zone

  • TIME_ZONE_AT_LOCATIONThe Time of Day parameter refers to the time zone in which the stores or demand points are located. If Travel Direction is stores to demand points, this is the time zone of the stores. If Travel Direction is demand points to stores, this is the time zone of the demand points. This is the default.
