Parameter

Resumen

Every tool parameter has an associated Parameter object with properties and methods that are useful in tool validation.

Debate

Although many Parameter object properties are read/write, most of these properties can only be set or modified when you initially create or modify the object. Several properties, including name, displayName, datatype, direction, and parameterType, establish the characteristics of a tool and cannot be modified during validation methods (such as updateMessages and updateParameters).

Propiedades

Propiedad	Explicación	Tipo de datos
altered (Sólo lectura)	True if the user has modified the value.	Boolean
category (Lectura y escritura)	The category of the parameter.	String
columns (Lectura y escritura)	The column data types and names of a value table parameter are set using a list of lists. import arcpy param = arcpy.Parameter() param.datatype = "GPValueTable" param.columns = [["GPFeatureLayer", "Features"], ["GPLong", "Ranks"]]	String
datatype (Lectura y escritura)	The data type of the parameter. For a list of parameter data types, see Geoprocessing data types.	String
defaultEnvironmentName (Lectura y escritura)	The geoprocessing environment setting used to set the parameter's default value.	String
direction (Lectura y escritura)	The Input/Output direction of the parameter.	String
displayName (Lectura y escritura)	The parameter label as shown on the tool's dialog box.	String
displayOrder (Lectura y escritura)	The order in which a parameter is displayed on the tool's dialog box. This may be different from the order the parameters are accessed from Python.	Integer
enabled (Lectura y escritura)	False if the parameter is unavailable.	Boolean
filter (Sólo lectura)	The filter to apply to values in the parameter.	Filter
filters (Lectura y escritura)	Similar to filter but used to support value table parameters. class SampleTool(object): # __init__ left out to simplify example def getParameterInfo(self): in_fc = arcpy.Parameter( name='in_features', displayName='Input Features', datatype='GPFeatureLayer', direction='Input', parameterType='Required') vt = arcpy.Parameter( name = 'summary_fields', displayName = 'Summary fields', datatype = 'GPValueTable', direction = 'Input', parameterType = 'Optional') vt.parameterDependencies = [in_fc.name] vt.columns = [['Field', 'Field'], ['GPString', 'Statistic'], ['GPDouble', 'Multiplier']] vt.filters[0].list = ['Double', 'Float', 'Short', 'Long'] vt.filters[1].type = 'ValueList' vt.filters[1].list = ['SUM', 'MIN', 'MAX', 'MEAN'] vt.filters[2].type = 'Range' vt.filters[2].list = [0,10]	Filter
hasBeenValidated (Sólo lectura)	True if the internal validation routine has checked the parameter.	Boolean
message (Sólo lectura)	The message to be displayed to the user.	String
multiValue (Lectura y escritura)	True if the parameter is a multivalue parameter.	Boolean
name (Lectura y escritura)	The parameter name.	String
parameterDependencies (Lectura y escritura)	A list of indexes of each dependent parameter. In a script tool, parameterDependencies is set with a list of parameter indexes; in a Python toolbox tool, parameterDependencies is set with a list of parameter names.	Integer
parameterType (Lectura y escritura)	The parameterType property can be Required, Optional, or Derived. In validation, the parameterType value cannot be dynamically modified. However, it may be necessary to have a parameter behave as required or optional depending on other parameter settings. If this is the case, set the parameter as optional. Then, in the validation updateMessages method, use the Parameter setIDMessage method with message ID 735. Using message ID 735 causes an optional parameter to behave as a required parameter. Required—The parameter requires a value for the tool to execute. Optional— The parameter does not require a value for the tool to execute. Derived—The tool returns an output value that is not provided as an input parameter. Derived parameters are always output parameters.	String
schema (Sólo lectura)	The schema of the output dataset.	Schema
symbology (Lectura y escritura)	The path to a layer file (.lyrx or .lyr) used for drawing the output.	String
value (Lectura y escritura)	The value of the parameter.	Object
valueAsText (Sólo lectura)	The value of the parameter as a string.	String
values (Lectura y escritura)	The values of a Value Table parameter, which is set using a list of lists.	Variant

Descripción general del método

Método	Explicación
clearMessage ()	Clears out any message text and sets the status to informative (no error or warning).
hasError ()	Returns True if the parameter contains an error. To evaluate whether a parameter has an error, hasError should be called within the tool validation's updateMessages method.
hasWarning ()	Returns True if the parameter contains a warning.
isInputValueDerived ()	Returns True if the tool is being validated inside a Model and the input value is the output of another tool in the model.
setErrorMessage (message)	Sets a parameter as having an error with the supplied message. Tools do not execute if any of the parameters have an error.
setIDMessage (message_type, message_ID, {add_argument1}, {add_argument2})	Sets a parameter as having a system message.
setWarningMessage (message)	Sets a parameter as having an error with the supplied message. Unlike errors, tools will execute with warning messages.

Parameter example

Enabling or disabling a parameter in a ToolValidator class.

def updateParameters(self):
    # If the option to use a weights file ("Get Spatial Weights From File") 
    # is selected, enable the parameter for specifying the file; 
    # otherwise, disable it

    if self.params[3].value == "Get Spatial Weights From File":
        self.params[8].enabled = True
    else:
        self.params[8].enabled = False

    return

Parameter example 2

Setting a default value for a parameter in a ToolValidator class.

def updateParameters(self):
    # Set the default distance threshold to 1/100 of the larger of
    # the width or height of the extent of the input features.  Do
    # not set if there is no input dataset yet, or the user has set
    # a specific distance (Altered is true).

    if self.params[0].value:
        if not self.params[6].altered:
            extent = arcpy.Describe(self.params[0].value)
        width = extent.XMax - extent.XMin

            self.params[6].value = width / 100

        return

    self.params[6].clearMessage()

    # Check to see if the threshold distance contains a value of
    # zero and the user has specified a fixed distance band.

        if self.params[3].value == "Fixed Distance Band":
            self.params[6].setErrorMessage(
                "Zero or a negative distance is invalid when "
                "using a fixed distance band. Please use a "
                "positive value greater than zero.")
        elif self.params[6].value < 0:
            self.params[6].setErrorMessage(
                "A positive distance value is required when "
