IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Gets an element of a path diagram — a rectangle, ellipse, arrow or figure caption.
Syntax
result = pd.PDE (theElement)
result = pd.PDE (elementNumber)
result = pd.PDE (variableName)
Syntax 2
result = pd.PDE (theElement1, theElement2)
result = pd.PDE (elementNumber1, elementNumber2)
result = pd.PDE (variableName1, variableName2)
The PDE method syntax 1 has the following parts:
Part |
Description |
result |
An object of type PDElement. |
theElement |
An object of type PDElement. |
elementNumber |
(Integer) An object number. Objects in a path diagram are numbered starting with 1. |
variableName |
(String) A variable name. |
The PDE method syntax 2 has the following parts:
Part |
Description |
result |
A single-headed or double-headed arrow (an object of type PDElement.) If the two variables (rectangles or ellipses) specified as function arguments are connected by a double-headed arrow, result is set equal to that double-headed arrow. If there is a single-headed arrow that points from the first variable to the second variable, result is set equal to that single-headed arrow. Otherwise, result is set equal to nothing (null). |
theElement1 theElement2 |
Objects of type PDElement that are both variables (rectangles or ellipses). |
elementNumber1 elementNumber2 |
Two integers that specify variables (rectangles or ellipses). Objects in a path diagram are numbered starting with 1. |
variableName1 variableName2 |
The names of two variables. |
