ArealUnitConversionFactor example 1

A simple use case for converting from hectare to square kilometers.

import arcpy

# Convert an area of 10000 Hectares to SquareKilometers 
area = 10000 * arcpy.ArealUnitConversionFactor(from_unit="Hectares", to_unit="SquareKilometers")

print(area)  # This will print a value of 100.0
ArealUnitConversionFactor example 2

Within a script tool, convert a specified value to square meters for processing.



import locale
import sys

area = arcpy.GetParameter(n)  # Update n to the parameter index

area_value, area_unit = area.split(" ")  # For example, "10 Acres"

# Convert the area into "SquareMeters" as needed later in this script
try:
    conv_factor = arcpy.ArealUnitConversionFactor(area_unit, "SquareMeters")
except ValueError as e:
    # If fails, the likely area; unit is "Unknown"
    # Add code to either deal with it or produce an appropriateerror  as shown below.
    arcpy.AddError(arcpy.GetIDMessage('Invalid areal unit type.))
    sys.exit()

# Apply the conv_factor to the supplied value
# locale.atof is required for locales that don't use a period as the separator
area_square_m = locale.atof(area_value) * conv_factor
