Generate Elevation Bands (Topographic Production)

Resumen

Creates an elevation bands feature class from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM).

Uso

• The Area of Interest parameter must have only one selected feature in the map sheet extent.

• The Hydro Exclusion Features parameter is used to identify large bodies of water and coastal areas that would significantly alter the area of the elevation bands.

• Elevation bands are created with their limits aligned to the Contour Interval parameter, except low and high values, which will represent their actual calculated values.

• If more than one input raster is used, all input rasters must have the same cell size, band count, and pixel type. All input rasters should also use the same elevation units (meters or feet).

Cuadro de diálogo

Etiqueta	Explicación	Tipo de datos
Input Raster	The rasters used to create elevation bands.	Raster Layer; Mosaic Layer
Area of Interest	The layer that defines the processing extent.	Layer
Output Feature Class	The feature class containing the output elevation band features.	Feature Class
Contour Interval	Determines the closest available contour when calculating the elevation band area. The default is 20. 10—A contour interval of 10. 20—A contour interval of 20. 40—A contour interval of 40. 80—A contour interval of 80.	Long
Minimum Feature Area	The minimum area for output polygons. Features smaller than this value will be removed. The default is 0.00016 square decimal degrees. Nota: If you're creating an output dataset with a projected coordinate system, this value should reflect the square units of that coordinate system—for example, square meters for a UTM dataset. Otherwise, the default value may result in an empty output dataset.	Double
Smoothing Tolerance	The tolerance used by the smoothing algorithm. The larger the value, the more generalized the output band features. The default is 0.002 decimal degrees.	Linear Unit
Hydro Exclusion Features (Opcional)	The bodies of water to exclude when calculating the elevation band area.	Feature Layer
Number of Elevation Bands (Opcional)	The number of elevation bands generated by the tool. 1—One elevation band will be generated. 2—Two elevation bands will be generated. 3—Three elevation bands will be generated. 4—Four elevation bands will be generated.	Long

GenerateElevationBands example (stand-alone script)

The following code sample creates a raster layer from Production Mapping sample data. The script runs the GenerateElevationBands tool against the raster layer and writes the output to a file geodatabase at C:\Temp. You need to have the Extensión ArcGIS Spatial Analyst and the Production Mapping extension enabled.

# Name: GenerateElevationBands_sample.py
# Description: Use the Generate Elevation Bands tool to create a new output feature class with elevation bands for cartography

# Import System Modules
import arcpy

# Check Out Extensions

# Setting Local Variables
in_raster = r'C:\Temp\Monterey.dt2'
in_aoi = r'C:\Temp\MapIndex.gdb\Index_Polygons'
output_features = r'C:\Temp\Test.gdb\Output_Elevation_Bands'
contour_interval = 20
minimum_area = '0.00016'
tolerance = '0.02 DecimalDegrees'
in_hydro_exclusion = r'C:\Temp\Test.gdb\Hydro_Polygons'
number_of_bands = 3

# Creating feature layer and selecting an index feature
query = "PRODUCT_ID = 'V795X16573'"
aoi_layer = arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer(in_aoi, 'AOI').getOutput(0)
arcpy.management.SelectLayerByAttribute(aoi_layer, 'NEW_SELECTION', query)

# Creating feature layer and setting definition query for tidal water features
exclusion_layer = arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer(in_hydro_exclusion, 'HYDRO', "TYPE = 'Tidal Water'").getOutput(0)

# Calling Generate Elevation Bands tool
