Summary
Creates a feature class showing the footprints, boundary, seamlines or spatial resolutions of a mosaic dataset.
Usage
When you set Geometry Type to Cell size level, you are exporting the union of items that have the same resolution level. This is useful to quickly see the coverage of your imagery for each cell size level.
Syntax
arcpy.management.ExportMosaicDatasetGeometry(in_mosaic_dataset, out_feature_class, {where_clause}, {geometry_type})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_mosaic_dataset | The mosaic dataset that you want to export the geometry from. | Mosaic Layer |
out_feature_class | Name the feature class you are creating. | Feature Class |
where_clause (Optional) | An SQL expression to export specific rasters in the mosaic dataset. | SQL Expression |
geometry_type (Optional) |
The type of geometry to export.
| String |
