Summary
Allows the setup of level balancing variables.
Usage
The Territory Level format is as follows: Level_Name[Level_Index]
Balancing Variables is an optional parameter. The pound sign, "#", may be specified to remove balancing variables from specified level.
- Balancing variables can be specified in the following format: Variable Preference; ...
- Variable – a name of any Summary-type field from an Alignment Layer for a specified Solution. Non-BDS layer’s variables have "_SUM" as a suffix (SUM calculator applied).
- A preference must be specified for each variable. The range for each preference is from 0 to 100. The sum of all preferences must equal 100.
Syntax

Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_territory_solution_layer | The Territory Solution layer used to setup the parameters. | GP TD Layer |
in_level | The Territory Level to modify. | String |

Code sample
SetupLevelBalancingVariables example (Python window)
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the tool in immediate mode.
import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
gp.SetupLevelBalancingVariables_TD("new layer", "Territories[1]", "AREA_SUM 45;TOTPOP_CY_SUM 55")
SetupLevelBalancingVariables example 2 (stand-alone script)
The following stand-alone script demonstrates how to use the tool.
# Import system modules
import arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create()
# Set local variables
solution = "new layer"
level = "Territories[1]"
balanceVars = "AREA_SUM 45;TOTPOP_CY_SUM 55"
# Execute tool
gp.SetupLevelBalancingVariables_TD(solution, level, balanceVars)
Environments
This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
