f

The response format. The default response format is html .

Values: html | json | pjson

BINARY

Indicates that if the HRMA is less than the cut angle, the HF is set to the value associated with the zero factor; otherwise, it is set to infinity.

FORWARD

Establishes that only forward movement is allowed. The HRMA must be greater or equal to 0 and less than 90 degrees (0 <= HRMA < 90). If the HRMA is greater than 0 and less than 45 degrees, the HF for the cell is set to the value associated with the zero factor. If the HRMA is greater than or equal to 45 degrees, the side value modifier value is used. The HF for any HRMA equal to or greater than 90 degrees is set to infinity.

LINEAR

Specifies that the HF is a linear function of the HRMA.

INVERSE_LAYER

Specifies that the HF is an inverse linear function of the HRMA.

Zero factor

Establishes the horizontal factor to be used when the HRMA is zero. This factor positions the y-intercept for any of the horizontal factor functions.

Cut angle

Defines the HRMA angle beyond which the HF will be set to infinity.

Slope

Establishes the slope of the straight line used with the LINEAR and INVERSE_LINEAR horizontal factor keywords. The slope is specified as a fraction of rise over run (for example, 45 percent slope is 1/45, which is input as 0.02222).

Side value

Establishes the HF when the HRMA is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees when the FORWARD horizontal factor keyword is specified.

BINARY

Specifies that if the VRMA is greater than the low-cut angle and less than the high-cut angle, the VF is set to the value associated with the zero factor; otherwise, it is infinity.

LINEAR

Indicates that the VF is a linear function of the VRMA.

SYMMETRIC_LINEAR

Specifies that the VF is a linear function of th VRMA in either the negative or positive side of the VRMA, respectively, and the two linear functions are symmetrical with respect to the VF (y) axis.

INVERSE_LINEAR

Indicates that the VF is an inverse linear function of the VRMA.

SYMMETRIC_INVERSE_LINEAR

Specifies that the VF is an inverse linear function of the VRMA in either the negative or positive side of the VRMA, respectively, and the two linear functions are symmetrical with the respect to the VF (y) axis.

COS

Identifies the VF as the cosine-based function of the VRMA.

SEC

Identifies the VF as the secant-based function of the VRMA.

COS_SEC

Specifies that the VF is the cosine-based function of the VRMA when the VRMA is negative and the secant-based function of the VRMA when the VRMA is nonnegative.

SEC_COS

Specifies that the VF is the secant-based function of the VRMA when the VRMA is negative and the cosine-based function of the VRMA when the VRMA is negative.

Zero factor

Establishes the vertical factor used when the VRMA is zero. This factor positions the y-intercept of the specified function. By definition, the zero factor is not applicable to any of the trigonometric vertical functions (COS, SEC, COS-SEC, or SEC-COS). The y-intercept is defined by these functions.

Low cut angle

Defines the VRMA angle below which the VF will be set to infinity.

High cut angle

Defines the VRMA angle above which the VF will be set to infinity.

Slope

Establishes the slope of the straight line used with the LINEAR and INVERSE_LINEAR vertical factor keywords. The slope is specified as a fraction of rise over run (for example, 45 percent slope is 1/45, which is input as 0.02222).
