Attributes
A data set, a block (either array or table), and a column have associated attributes. An attribute is a keyword-value pair, optionally with a string describing the units of the value and a comment. The following procedures can be used to set and enquire attributes:
type
Attribute Returns the value of an attribute of the specified type. Requires a handle to the object and the name of the attribute.
- units Returns a string describing the units of an attribute, given a handle to the object and the name of the attribute.
- label Returns the comment string of an attribute, given a handle to the object and the name of the attribute.
- setAttribute Sets the value of an attribute. In the case of a numeric attribute, requires the handle of the object, the name of the attribute, the value, the units and a comment. For non-numeric attributes the units are not provided.
There is a utility function available to copy attributes from one object to another:
- setAttributes Replaces the attributes by the attributes found in another object. Requires two Attributable handles. A dataset, a block and a column can be converted into an attributable with the attributable call.
- addAttributes Adds the attributes that are found in another object. Requires two Attributable handles. A dataset, a block and a column can be converted into an attributable with the attributable call.
- attribute Return a handle to the attribute with the specified name.
- setAttribute Set an attribute using the result of a previous attribute call.
