ArcGIS Pro 3.x is Esri’s newest desktop GIS software with powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. Learn how to automate your ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tasks using Python and arcpy in this hands on style exercise book.
The book starts with an overview of the ArcGIS Notebook environment and the Python 3.x language. You’ll learn the basic constructs of this powerful, easy to learn language for automating your ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tasks.
We’ll then dive into the details of the ArcGIS Pro arcpy module by learning how to execute geoprocessing tools from your scripts. From there you’ll learn how to manage project and layer files, and manage the data within those files. You’ll discover how to programmatically add, insert, remove, and move layers in table of contents.
Next, you’ll learn how to apply symbology and update properties of layers, work with 2D and 3D display properties, and manage layouts. You’ll also learn how to automate map production through the use of map series functionality, formerly called map books.
From there we’ll cover the arcpy data access module for inserting, updating, and deleting data from feature classes and tables. You’ll also learn how to create your own custom geoprocessing tools using custom toolboxes for ArcGIS Pro.
Finally, we’ll close the book with an overview of the Pandas module and how it can be used for data analysis, exploration, and visualization.
