Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Web Map as JSON | A JSON representation of the state of the map to be exported as it appears in the web app. See the ExportWebMap specification to understand how to format this text. The ArcGIS web APIs for JavaScript, Flex, Silverlight, and so on allow you to get this JSON string from the map. | String |
Output File | The output file name. The extension of the file depends on the Format parameter value. | File |
Format (Optional) | Specifies the format in which the map image for printing will be delivered.
Note:The background of the output file is always opaque. | String |
Layout Templates Folder (Optional) | The full path to the folder containing layout pages (.pagx files ) to be used as layout templates. The default location is <install_directory>\Resources\ArcToolBox\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates. | Folder |
Layout Template (Optional) | The name of a template from the list or the keyword MAP_ONLY. When MAP_ONLY is chosen or an empty string is passed in, the output map will not contain any page layout elements such as title, legend, or scale bar. | String |
Summary
Takes the state of a web app (for example, included services, layer visibility settings, and client-side graphics) and returns a printable page layout or basic map of the specified area of interest.
Usage
The input for this tool is a piece of text in JavaScript object notation (JSON) format describing the layers, graphics, and other settings in the web map. The JSON must be structured according to the ExportWebMap specification.
This tool is included in ArcGIS Server to support web services for printing, including the PrintingTools preconfigured service. The ArcGIS web APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight use the PrintingTools service to generate images for map printing.
For advanced printing scenarios, such as swapping out service layers with local vector data or creating map books, use the ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject function in the Python arcpy.mp module instead of this tool. To make your Python script available to a web app, you can expose the script through an ArcGIS Server geoprocessing service. For more information, see Printing in web applications in the ArcGIS Server help.
The export format type TIFF generates a geo-enabled 32-bit TIFF file with an alpha channel.
