zone.field.method.index

Syntax

i = zone.field.method.index
zone.field.method.index = i

Get/set the index number of the extrapolation method used for zone-based variables.

This has no effect on gridpoint-based variables. The indices corresponding to names are 0 = constant, 1 = volume-weighted averaging, 2 = inverse-distance-weighted averaging, and 3 = polynomial fit. See zone.field.method.name. The default value is 0.

Returns:i - the extrapolation method index
Accepts:i - the extrapolation method index
