pygplates.Enumeration¶

class pygplates.Enumeration¶

Bases: pygplates.PropertyValue

A property value that represents a finite set of accepted (string) values per enumeration type.

__init__(type, content[, verify_information_model=VerifyInformationModel.yes])¶

Create an enumeration property value from an enumeration type and content (value).

Parameters:	type (`EnumerationType`) – the type of the enumeration content (string) – the content (value) of the enumeration verify_information_model (VerifyInformationModel.yes or VerifyInformationModel.no) – whether to check the information model for valid enumeration type and content
Raises:	InformationModelError if verify_information_model is VerifyInformationModel.yes and either type is not a recognised enumeration type or content is not a valid value for type

dip_slip_enum = pygplates.Enumeration(
    pygplates.EnumerationType.create_gpml('DipSlipEnumeration'),
    'Extension')

Methods

`__init__`(type, content, …)	Create an enumeration property value from an enumeration type and content (value).
`accept_visitor`(visitor)	Accept a property value visitor so that it can visit this property value.
`clone`()	Create a duplicate of this property value (derived) instance, including a recursive copy of any nested property values that this instance might contain.
`get_content`()	Returns the content (value) of this enumeration.
`get_geometry`()	Extracts the `geometry` if this property value contains a geometry.
`get_type`()	Returns the type of this enumeration.
`get_value`([time=0])	Extracts the value, of this possibly time-dependent property value, at the reconstruction time.
`set_content`(content, …)	Sets the content (value) of this enumeration.

get_content()¶

Returns the content (value) of this enumeration.

Return type:	string

get_type()¶

Returns the type of this enumeration.

Return type:	`EnumerationType`

set_content(content[, verify_information_model=VerifyInformationModel.yes])¶

Sets the content (value) of this enumeration.

Parameters:	content (string) – the content (value) verify_information_model (VerifyInformationModel.yes or VerifyInformationModel.no) – whether to check the information model for valid enumeration value
Raises:	InformationModelError if verify_information_model is VerifyInformationModel.yes and content is not a valid value for this enumeration `type`
