Connecting Network Graphs

Network graph connectivity is defined by setting up an Action using built-in operations (see Built-in Operations).

A network graph is defined in two parts, which must be performed in order using a sequence:

  1. Define the objects within the network graph (using the add_position and remove_position built-in operations)

  2. Set up the connections within the network graph (using the connect_positions and disconnect_positions built-in operations)

     Note: You can add and connect features which already exist in the network graph, but an error occurs if you try to connect or disconnect features which have not yet been added. If you remove a feature from the network graph, you do not need to disconnect it first.

Spatial relationships are used to define how the points and lines interact (e.g. touch, overlap, or cross). In a network graph constructed from point and line features, the points become nodes and the lines are the connections between the nodes.

You can construct multiple network graphs in 1Integrate. Although Rules are run against all network graphs, each is reported separately.

     Note: Contexts allow you to select the network class and attributes in a rule or action (see Context).

Actions can be created in many ways to achieve the same network graph connectivity. Labels and multiple actions can be used to connect a network graph in stages.
