Resumen
Sets the symbology properties of the specified output parameter of a script tool by index or parameter name.
Symbology can be set using either the path to a layer file or a JSON string representation of a Cartographic Information Model (CIM) or Esri Web Map Specification. Both vector and raster output layers can be symbolized.
Debate
This function is used to apply symbology to the output of a script tool. When specifying a path to a layer file in the text parameter, the script depends on the existing layer file. Instead of relying on preset layer files, the symbology can alternatively be persisted in the script by passing the string of a JSON CIM or Web Map Specification object preceded with JSONRENDERER=, JSONCIMDEF=, or JSONCLASSDEF=. To learn about the options for obtaining the JSON string of an object, see Setting output symbology in scripts.
Sintaxis
SetParameterSymbology (index, text)
| Parámetro | Explicación | Tipo de datos |
index | The specified output parameter's index position or parameter name. The specified symbology properties are applied to this output of the script tool. | Integer |
text | Set the specified parameter's symbology properties using the path to a layer file (.lyrx) or a JSON string representation of a CIM or Web Map Specification object. A JSON string representation must be preceded by the appropriate keyword as follows:
| String |

Use the parameter's positional index to set the symbology for a script tool's raster output with a .lyrx file stored in the tool's distribution folder. The script tool has two parameters, an input and an output raster layer.

arcpy.SetParameterSymbology(1, outsym)Use the parameter's name to set the symbology for a script tool's raster output with a .lyrx file stored in the tool's distribution folder. The script tool has two parameters, an input and an output raster layer.
The parameter names are in_raster and out_raster, respectively.
