A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook III (3 of 3)
The automation of geoprocessing tasks is a common practice among GIS professionals. Python is the standard programming language for ArcGIS and other fields such as remote sensing, GPS, spatial modeling, and statistical analysis.
A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook series combines fundamental Python programming structures to help professionals automate common geoprocessing functions. Thorough explanations of programming concepts are included along with user-friendly demonstrations that enable readers to develop programs on their own. In addition, chapters contain exercises and questions that aid in the application of each chapter’s highlighted principles.
Workbook III completes the Workbook series with focusing on creating custom Python script tools using a custom ArcToolbox as well as a custom Python script toolbox. Python Add-ins are discussed as another method to integrate Python to ArcGIS. Workbook III concludes by introducing the reader to script automation by setting up the Windows Task Scheduler.
Workbook I provides a practical introduction using Python for ArcGIS geoprocessing. Readers will learn some Python basics ending with writing a simple geoprocessing script. A Python Primer for ArcGIS® Workbook II contains coding strategies for common GIS tasks and processes.
