Description of options

Type = Distance | Nearest | MinSpan | RelNeighb | Gabriel | Delaunay | LeastDiag

Specifies the type of connections matrix to create.

Distances = Name | #Number

For all connection types other than Delaunay, specifies the distance matrix upon which to base the connections.

Coords = Name | #Number

For Type = Delaunay and Type = LeastDiag, specifies the coordinates matrix upon which to base the connections.

ConName = Name

Specifies the name of the connections matrix. The name cannot be in use by another matrix already in memory.

The following options apply when calculating connections based on the Delaunay/Dirichlet tessellation, Type = Delaunay.

Connection = Yes | No

Controls whether PASSaGE should output a connections matrix.

Tessellation = Yes | No

Controls whether PASSaGE should output a tessellation matrix. This only applies to two-dimensional coordinates.

TessName = Name

Specifies the name of the tessellation matrix. The name cannot be in use by another matrix already in memory.

The following options apply when calculating connections based on distance, Type = Distance.

Min, Max = Number

Sets the minimum and maximum distances to connect.

The following option applies when calculating nearest-neighbor connections, Type = Nearest.

N = Number

Sets the number of nearest neighbors to connect.
