Set Macros
Synopsis
This operator can be used to define multiple macros which can be used by
%{macro_name}in parameter values of succeeding operators of the current process. The macro values will NOT be derived from any ExampleSet. A macro can be considered as a value that can be used by all operators of the current process that come after the macro has been defined. This operator can also be used to re-define existing macros.
Description
This operator can be used to define multiple macros which can be used in parameter values of succeeding operators of the current process. Once the macro has been defined, the value of that macro can be used as parameter values in coming operators by writing the macro name in%{macro_name}format in a parameter value where 'macro_name' is the name of the macro specified when the macro was defined. In the Set Macros operator, the macro name and value is specified by themacrosparameter. A macro will be replaced in the value strings of parameters by the macro's value. This operator can also be used to re-define existing macros.
This operator sets the value of multiple macros irrespective of any ExampleSet. That is why this operator can also exist on its own i.e. without being connected to any other operator. If you want to create a single macro from properties of a given input ExampleSet, the
Macros
A macro can be considered as a value that can be used by all operators of the current process that come after the macro has been defined. Whenever using macros, make sure that the operators are in the correct sequence. It is compulsory that the macro should be defined before it can be used in parameter values. The macro is one of the advanced topics of RapidMiner, please study the attached Example Process to develop a better understanding of macros. The Example Processes of the
There are also some predefined macros:
- %{process_name}: will be replaced by the name of the process (without path and extension)
- %{process_file}: will be replaced by the file name of the process (with extension)
- %{process_path}: will be replaced by the complete absolute path of the process file
- Several other short macros also exist, e.g.%{a}for the number of times the current operator was applied.
Please note that other operators like many of the loop operators (e.g. Loop Values , Loop Attributes) also add specific macros.
Input
通过
It is not compulsory to connect any object with this port. Any object connected at this port is delivered without any modifications to the output port. This operator can have multiple inputs. When one input is connected, another通过input port becomes available which is ready to accept another input (if any). The order of inputs remains the same. The object supplied at the first通过input port of the Set Macros operator is available at the first通过output port.
Output
通过
Objects that were given as input are passed without changing to the output through this port. It is not compulsory to attach this port to any other port, the macro value is set even if this port is left without connections. The Set Macros operator can have multiple outputs. When one output is connected, another通过output port becomes available which is ready to deliver another output (if any). The order of outputs remains the same. The object delivered at the first通过input port of the Set Macros operator is delivered at the first通过output port
Parameters
Macros
该参数用于指定the names and values of the macros. Macros can be accessed in succeeding operators of the current process by writing the macro's name in%{macro_name}format, where 'macro_name' is the name of the macro specified in this parameter.
