2.5.6 Global scripts

Global scripts

Global scripts are scripts which are not bound to a single attribute or even a single layer. They are associated with events which extend beyond layer level.

Global variables can pass values from Field-Map to script and/or pass values from script to Field-Map. Global variables are automatically introduced for particular scripts.

The following global script categories are available:

• Field-Map
• Find Target Height (script)
• Height
• Measurement
• Mapping
• Remote Diameter
• Stem Profile
• Stand Density Measurement
• Sampling
• Angle Count Sampling

See the complete list of global events.

Example :

var
  v: variant;
  ext_: string;

begin
  v := Project.LoadStringFromIniFile('LAYERS', 'EXTENSION', 'MISC.ini');

  if (v <> NULL) and (v <> '') then
    ext_ := format('_%s', [string(v)])
  else
    ext_ := '';

  Globals.SetGlobalVariable('TreeLayerName', 'Trees' + ext_);
  Globals.SetGlobalVariable('RegCirclesLayerName', 'RegCircles' + ext_);
  Globals.SetGlobalVariable('PhotosLayerName', 'Photos' + ext_);
end.
