Feature Class properties

Zusammenfassung

The Describe function returns the following properties for feature classes. The Table and Dataset property groups are also supported. The Editor Tracking property group is supported if editor tracking has been enabled for this feature class.

For a feature class, the Describe dataType property returns a value of "FeatureClass".

Eigenschaften

EigenschaftErläuterungDatentyp
featureType
(Schreibgeschützt)

The feature type of the feature class.

  • SimplePolygons, polylines, and points representing objects or places that have area, such as water bodies; linear objects, such as rivers; and localized positions, such as houses or sample sites.
  • SimpleJunctionSimple junction feature in a geometric network representing point objects, such as a fuse, service point, or telephone pole.
  • SimpleEdgeSimple edge feature in a geometric network representing polyline objects, such as primary or secondary overheads.
  • ComplexEdgeComplex edge feature in a geometric network representing polyline objects, such as primary overheads, which have midspan connectivity. Network resources flow through complex edges without interruption by midspan connectivity.
  • AnnotationPlace or object names or identifiers, such as street names, hydrant ID numbers, land values, or elevation.
  • CoverageAnnotationPlace or object names or identifiers, such as street names, hydrant ID numbers, land values, or elevation. Not supported in geodatabases; only supported in coverage datasets.
  • DimensionMeasurements, such as distances, lengths, widths, and depths.
  • RasterCatalogItemA raster dataset in a raster catalog that has information, such as footprints, names, metadata, and any other user-defined attributes.
String
hasM
(Schreibgeschützt)

Indicates whether the geometry is m-value enabled.

Boolean
hasZ
(Schreibgeschützt)

Indicates whether the geometry is z-value enabled.

Boolean
hasSpatialIndex
(Schreibgeschützt)

Indicates whether the feature class has a spatial index.

Boolean
shapeFieldName
(Schreibgeschützt)

The name of the geometry field.

String
shapeType
(Schreibgeschützt)

The geometry shape type.

  • Polygon
  • Polyline
  • Point
  • Multipoint
  • MultiPatch
String
splitModel
(Schreibgeschützt)

The split model that is set for the feature class.

  • DeleteInsertInsert
  • UpdateInsert
String

Feature class properties example

The following stand-alone script displays some feature class properties:

import arcpy

# Create a Describe object from the feature class
#
desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/data/arch.dgn/Point")

# Print some feature class properties
#
print("Feature Type:  " + desc.featureType)
print("Shape Type :   " + desc.shapeType)
print("Spatial Index: " + str(desc.hasSpatialIndex))
