Bases: object

Metadata that describes the value returned by a method of a Python class.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the return value. Although Python does not give names to return values, they are needed when a method is exposed as an ArcGIS goeprocessing tool, and can be useful in other contexts. Minimum length꞉ 1.

  • typeMetadata (TypeMetadata) – A TypeMetadata that describes the data type and allowed values of this return value.

  • description (str, optional) – Return value description, ideally one line of plain text (but reStructuredText is OK). Put long details in MethodMetadata.LongDescription. Minimum length꞉ 1.

  • arcGISDisplayName (str, optional) – Name of the return value as it should appear in ArcGIS, when the method is exposed as an ArcGIS geoprocessing tool (ignored otherwise). Minimum length꞉ 1.

  • arcGISParameterDependencies (list of str, optional) – list of names of parameters that this return value is dependent on (see ArcGIS documentation), when the method is exposed as an ArcGIS geoprocessing tool (ignored otherwise).

Returns:

New ResultMetadata instance.

Return type:
