Container - ObjectVision/GeoDMS GitHub Wiki

A container is a structuring tree item, not being a unit or data item.

A container often has a role as a folder in a directory structure (although in a GeoDMS configuration also units and data items can contain subitems).

To configure a container use the keyword container, followed by it's name (see example).

Curly brackets { and } are used to configure the subitems of a container.

instantiation

Containers are also used for template instantiations.

To configure a container for a [case instantiation]], use the keyword container, followed by it's name and as [[expression]] the name of the template with between brackets the [case parameters (see example 2).

example

1. container SourceData
2. container Yr2050 := AllocatieLandUse('yr2050');

The first example indicates that this branche of the tree is used to configure source data items, often read from external storages.

The second example is a case instantiation. The template AllocatieLandUse is here instantiated with one case parameter: a year parameter as string.
