visualize\_isochrone(graph\_name=None, source\_node=None, max\_solution\_radius=-1.0, weights\_on\_edges=\[], restrictions=\[], num\_levels=1, generate\_image=True, levels\_table='', style\_options=None, solve\_options={"{"}{"}"}, contour\_options={"{"}{"}"}, options={"{"}{"}"})\[source]

Generate an image containing isolines for travel results using an existing graph. Isolines represent curves of equal cost, with cost typically referring to the time or distance assigned as the weights of the underlying graph. See Graphs and Solvers for more information on graphs.

Parameters

graph\_name (str) –

Name of the graph on which the isochrone is to be computed.

source\_node (str) –

Starting vertex on the underlying graph from/to which the isochrones are created.

max\_solution\_radius (float) –

Extent of the search radius around input parameter source\_node. Set to ‘-1.0’ for unrestricted search radius. The default value is -1.0.

weights\_on\_edges (list of str) –

Additional weights to apply to the edges of an existing graph. Weights must be specified using identifiers; identifiers are grouped as combinations. Identifiers can be used with existing column names, e.g., ‘table.column AS WEIGHTS\_EDGE\_ID’, or expressions, e.g., ‘ST\_LENGTH(wkt) AS WEIGHTS\_VALUESPECIFIED’. Any provided weights will be added (in the case of ‘WEIGHTS\_VALUESPECIFIED’) to or multiplied with (in the case of ‘WEIGHTS\_FACTORSPECIFIED’) the existing weight(s). The default value is an empty list ( \[] ). The user can provide a single element (which will be automatically promoted to a list internally) or a list.

restrictions (list of str) –

Additional restrictions to apply to the nodes/edges of an existing graph. Restrictions must be specified using identifiers; identifiers are grouped as combinations. Identifiers can be used with existing column names, e.g., ‘table.column AS RESTRICTIONS\_EDGE\_ID’, or expressions, e.g., ‘column/2 AS RESTRICTIONS\_VALUECOMPARED’. If remove\_previous\_restrictions is set to true, any provided restrictions will replace the existing restrictions. If remove\_previous\_restrictions is set to false, any provided restrictions will be added (in the case of ‘RESTRICTIONS\_VALUECOMPARED’) to or replaced (in the case of ‘RESTRICTIONS\_ONOFFCOMPARED’). The default value is an empty list ( \[] ). The user can provide a single element (which will be automatically promoted to a list internally) or a list.

    • false

    The default value is ‘false’.

  • restriction\_threshold\_value – Value-based restriction comparison. Any node or edge with a ‘RESTRICTIONS\_VALUECOMPARED’ value greater than the restriction\_threshold\_value will not be included in the solution.

  • uniform\_weights – When specified, assigns the given value to all the edges in the graph. Note that weights provided in input parameter weights\_on\_edges will override this value.
