Geospatial analysis with python : use the ArcPy module to automate the analysis and mapping of geospatial data in ArcGIS.
Use the ArcPy module to automate the analysis
and mapping of geospatial data in ArcGIS
About This
Book
-Access the spatial data contained within shapefiles and geodatabases, for updates, analysis and even transformation between spatial reference systems
-Produce map books and automate the mapping of geospatial analyses, reducing the time needed to produce and display the results
Who This Book Is ForIf you are a GIS student or professional who needs an understanding of how to use ArcPy to reduce repetitive tasks and perform analysis faster, this book is for you. It is also a valuable book for Python programmers who want to understand how to automate geospatial analyses.
What You
Will Learn
-Model an analysis and export it to Python for further improvement
-Create Python functions from exported scripts using ArcToolbox tools to avoid repetitive code
-Update the records of interest in your existing geospatial data automatically using data cursors
-Add new geospatial data to existing datasets automatically from field-collected data or data produced during analysis
-Export formatted analysis results to spreadsheets automatically
-Update map documents with analysis-generated data and export maps to PDF or image formats
-Create geometric networks and analyze routes using scripts
In DetailArcGIS allows for complex analyses of geographic information. The ArcPy module is used to script these ArcGIS analyses, providing a productive way to perform geo-analyses and to automate map production.
This book will guide you from basic Python scripting to advanced ArcPy
script tools. This book starts off with setting up your Python environment, demonstrates
a complex ArcPy script tool with multiple iterations, illustrates data access
module cursors, and explains how to use ArcPy Geometry classes. Then, you will
learn how to output maps using ArcPy.Mapping, and how to create ArcGIS script
tools.
With the help of this book, you will be able to create repeatable analyses
reducing the time-consuming nature of GIS, making you into a GIS professional
as powerful as a whole team.
