add_attribute

def add_attribute(cls: Type[AttributeType],
                  name: str,
                  local_uid: Optional[int] = None,
                  feature_node_hash: Optional[str] = None,
                  required: bool = False,
                  dynamic: bool = False) -> AttributeType

  • cls - The attribute type, one of RadioAttribute, ChecklistAttribute, TextAttribute.
  • name - The user-visible name of the attribute.
  • local_uid - Integer identifier of the attribute. Normally auto-generated; omit this unless the aim is to create an exact clone of an existing ontology.
  • feature_node_hash - Global identifier of the attribute. Normally auto-generated; omit this unless the aim is to create an exact clone of an existing ontology.
  • required - Whether the label editor would mark this attribute as ‘required’.
  • dynamic - Whether the attribute can have a different answer for the same object across different frames.
Returns:
  • AttributeType - The created attribute that can be further specified with options, where appropriate.
Raises:
  • ValueError - If the specified local_uid or feature_node_hash violate uniqueness constraints.
