matrixnode properties

Matrix node iconThe Matrix node creates a table that shows relationships between fields. It's most commonly used to show the relationship between two symbolic fields, but it can also show relationships between flag fields or numeric fields.

Example

stream = modeler.script.stream()
sourcenode = stream.findByID("id46WRP1285C")
node = stream.create("matrix", "My node")
# "Settings" tab
node.setPropertyValue("fields", "Numerics")
node.setPropertyValue("row", "K")
node.setPropertyValue("column", "Na")
node.setPropertyValue("cell_contents", "Function")
node.setPropertyValue("function_field", "Age")
node.setPropertyValue("function", "Sum")
# "Appearance" tab
node.setPropertyValue("sort_mode", "Ascending")
node.setPropertyValue("highlight_top", 1)
node.setPropertyValue("highlight_bottom", 5)
node.setPropertyValue("display", ["Counts", "Expected", "Residuals"])
node.setPropertyValue("include_totals", True)
