LegendItem

Resumen

LegendItem provides access to legend item level information in a LegendElement.

Debate

The items property on the LegendElement class returns a list of LegendItem objects. For each legend item, you can change properties such as arrangement, patchHeight, and its visible status. The typical workflow is to iterate through the list of elements, determine the item of interest by its name property, then make the appropriate changes.

Nota:

The properties exposed to the LegendItem class do not apply to all renderer types. It is important to catch these exceptions when necessary.

LegendItem example

The following script iterates through all legend items in a legend. Its sets the patchHeight and patchWidth for all legend items, then sets showVisibleFeatures for a specific legend item.

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
lyt = p.listLayouts('Layout')[0]
leg = lyt.listElements('LEGEND_ELEMENT')[0]

#Change the patch size for all legend items
#only display features in the visible map frame extent
for itm in leg.items:
  itm.patchHeight = 15
  itm.patchWidth = 30
  if itm.name == 'Geological Types':
    itm.showVisibleFeatures = True
