Zusammenfassung
The Layout object references a single-page layout in an ArcGIS Pro project (.aprx). It provides access to common properties like page size and a number of different export methods.
Auswertung
An ArcGIS Pro project can contain multiple page layouts. Layouts are accessed using the listLayouts method on the ArcGISProject object and it returns a Python list of Layout objects. It is important to uniquely name each layout so a specific page layout can be easily referenced by its name.
The listElements method provides access to all the elements on the page layout: GraphicElement, LegendElement, MapFrameElement, MapSurroundElement, PictureElement, and TextElement.
The Layout object is where you'll find access to a number of exportTo methods. Use the Layout export methods if you want to export the entire page layout. There is also a similar set of export methods available on the MapFrame class, if you only want to export the contents of a single map frame.
A layout can contain a single MapSeries. If the mapSeries property returns None, then a map series has not been created in the layout. You should also check to see if the map series is enabled before attempting to manipulate its properties.

AIX is an Adobe Illustrator Exchange file exported from ArcGIS to be used with ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud plug-in. When used with the plugin vector and raster map content is converted into editable, layered artwork for an improved editing experience in Adobe Illustrator. Once opened in Illustrator it can be used for high end graphic design or map finishing workflows and migrated across the other Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

EPS files can be edited in many drawing applications or placed as a graphic in most page layout applications. EPS files support embedding of fonts so users who do not have Esri fonts installed can still view the proper symbology.

jpeg_quality | This value (0–100) controls the amount of compression applied to the output image. With a JPEG image, quality is adversely affected the more compression is applied. A higher quality (highest = 100) setting will produce sharper images and larger file sizes. A lower quality setting will produce more image artifacts and smaller files. (Der Standardwert ist 80) | Integer |

clip_to_elements | If set to True, the layout is clipped to the smallest bounding box that includes all layout elements. (Der Standardwert ist False) | Boolean |
JPEG files are compressed image files. They support 24-bit color and are a popular choice for use on the web because a JPEG file size is often substantially smaller than many other image formats. However, the JPEG compression algorithm is lossy and is not recommended for many map images, as line drawings, and text or icon graphics, become blurred by compression artifacts. Therefore, PNG is usually a superior format for map images.

PDF files are designed to be consistently viewable and printable across different platforms. They are commonly used for distributing documents on the web, and the format is now an official ISO standard for document interchange. PDF files are editable in many graphics applications and retain map georeference information, annotation, labeling, and feature attribute data. PDF exports support embedding of fonts and can display symbology correctly even if the user does not have Esri fonts installed.
Review the PDFDocument class to learn more about how to manage PDF files, such as appending, inserting, and setting properties.

A PNG file is a versatile raster format file that can display in web browsers and be inserted into other documents. It supports high-bit-depth color and uses a lossless compression. For maps, PNG is often the best raster format, since the lossless compression keeps text and line work legible by preventing the compression artifacts that can occur in JPEG format. PNG files can also define a transparent color.

Some web browsers may require a plug-in to view SVG files. Older browsers may not be able to view SVG files at all. SVG supports font embedding, so users who do not have Esri fonts installed can still view SVG exports with proper symbology. You can also choose to produce compressed SVG files. The file extension changes to .svgz when this option is enabled.

getDefinition (cim_version)
| Parameter | Erklärung | Datentyp |
cim_version | A string that represents the major version of the CIM. | String |
CIM-level access to additional object properties was introduced at version 2.4. Esri follows the semantic versioning specification. This means that until the next major release—for example, 3.0—when breaking API changes are allowed, the value to be used with cim_version is V2. Once 3.0 is released, a new V3 option will become available. This gives Python script authors control over the CIM version that will be used during execution if there is a possibility that breaking changes may be introduced in the new version.
For more information about working with the CIM and samples, see Python CIM Access.
listElements ({element_type}, {wildcard})| Parameter | Erklärung | Datentyp |
element_type | A string that represents the element type that will be used to filter the returned list of elements.
(Der Standardwert ist None) | String |
wildcard | A wildcard is based on the element name and is not case sensitive. A combination of asterisks (*) and characters can be used to help limit the results. (Der Standardwert ist None) | String |
| Datentyp | Erklärung |
| List | A Python list of page layout elements. The types of objects that can be returned are GraphicElement, LegendElement, MapFrame, MapsurroundElement, PictureElement, and TextElement. |
Each page element has a name property that can be set within the element properties dialog box. It is the layout author's responsibility to ensure each page element is given a unique name so that elements can be uniquely identified. If two elements have the same name, there is no way to ensure it is the element you want to reference.
The listElements method will return the elements within a group element into a flattened list. This makes it possible to easily search and replace text strings, for example, without having to navigate through a group element structure.
The element_type parameter can be skipped by passing an empty string or by including the parameter name for all parameters that follow the skipped parameter. For example elm = lyt.listElements("", "Title")[0]
#or
elm = lyt.listElements(wildcard="Title")[0]
setDefinition (definition_object)
| Parameter | Erklärung | Datentyp |
definition_object | A modified CIM definition object originally retrieved using getDefinition. | Object |
For more information about working with the CIM and samples, see Python CIM Access.
