ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject

Resumen

Converts a web map (in JSON format) that you intend to print or export to an ArcGISProject object. The ArcGIS project can be further modified before being printed or exported.

Debate

Once the web map is converted, the full state of the web map exists in the project. The project can then be further modified before being printed or exported to a common format such as PDF. ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject is most commonly used when printing a map from a web GIS app using ArcGIS API for JavaScript, ArcGIS Web AppBuilder, or ArcGIS Experience Builder.

For a more detailed discussion, scenarios, and code samples, see Web map printing with arcpy.mp.

Sintaxis

ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject (webmap_json, {template_pagx}, {mapframe_name}, {notes_gdb}, {report_template})
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
webmap_json

The web map for printing in JSON. See the ExportWebMap JSON specification for more information. ArcGIS API for JavaScript, ArcGIS Web AppBuilder and ArcGIS Experience Builder allow developers to get this JSON string from the web app.

String
template_pagx

The path and file name to a layout file (.pagx) that will be used as the optional template for the page layout. The web map is converted to a new map in the ArcGIS project. A 2D map frame on the layout will reference the newly created map. For more information, see the mapframe_name parameter below. Layers in the template_pagx file's web map map frame (and all other map frames) will be preserved in the output ArcGISProject object. If no template_pagx value is provided, use the defaultView property on the Map class to access the web map's MapView object. In the MapView web map printing workflow, the output file will not contain any layout surrounds (for example, title, legends, scale bar, overview map frames, and so on).

Alternatively, you can use the portal ID (in JSON format) of the layout item that will be used for templates. Use the format {"id": "<portal-d>"}.

(El valor predeterminado es None)

String
mapframe_name

The name of a map frame on the layout whose source will be updated to point to the newly created map containing the web map JSON. If there is only one map frame on the layout, it will be used to reference the web map by default. If there is more than one map frame on the layout, and if this parameter is omitted, the map frame named WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME is used. Alternatively, a user-defined mapframe_name value can be provided. The function returns an error if there are multiple map frames but no map frame named WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME is found and no mapframe_name value has been provided.

(El valor predeterminado es None)

String
notes_gdb

The path to a new or existing file geodatabase or an existing enterprise geodatabase connection where graphic features will be written. Use this parameter only when graphic features from the web map JSON need to be preserved permanently. In most cases, this parameter is not required, as a temporary in-memory workspace will be used to store graphic features. This parameter allows you to save graphic features to persistent storage. The path must end with a .gdb or an .sde extension.

(El valor predeterminado es None)

String
report_template

The path and file name to a report template file (.rptt) or report definition file (.rptx) that will be used as the optional template for a report. If the webmap_json contains reportOptions, a Report object will be present in the ArcGISProject return object that can then be exported. The report can be accessed using the listReports function on the ArcGISProject class.

(El valor predeterminado es None)

String
Valor de retorno
Tipo de datosExplicación
tuple

Returns a Python-named tuple of web map and request properties.

  • ArcGISProjectThe ArcGISProject object created as output of the function will be returned. The ArcGISProject object is created in memory. To make a permanent copy of the project on disk, call the saveACopy function on the ArcGISProject object.
  • DPIThe requested DPI of the export from the web app will be returned.
  • outputSizeHeightThe height of the image as specified from the web app will be returned. This can be used when performing a map view export.
  • outputSizeWidthThe width of the image as specified from the web app will be returned. This can be used when performing a map view export.

ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 1

In this example, the script reads in a web map JSON. The output MapView object from ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject is exported to a .png file. The output map does not contain any page layout surroundings (for example, title, legends, or scale bar).

import arcpy
import os
import uuid

# Input web map json
Web_Map_as_JSON = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

# Convert the web map to an ArcGIS Project
result = arcpy.mp.ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject(Web_Map_as_JSON)
aprx = result.ArcGISProject

# Get the map view
m = aprx.listMaps()[0]
mv = m.defaultView

# Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name
# This will ensure a unique output name
output = 'WebMap_{}.png'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output)

# Export the web map
mv.exportToPNG(Output_File, result.outputSizeWidth, result.outputSizeHeight, result.DPI)

# Set the output parameter to be the output file of the server job
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, Output_File)

# Clean up
del mv, m, aprx, result
ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 2

In this example, the script reads in a web map JSON. The output MapView extent from ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject is modified before it is exported to a .png file. The exportToPNG function uses user-defined values for the height, width, world_file, and color_mode parameters. The output map does not contain any page layout surroundings (for example, title, legends, or scale bar).

import arcpy
import os
import uuid

# Input web map json
Web_Map_as_JSON = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

# Convert the web map to an ArcGIS Project
result = arcpy.mp.ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject(Web_Map_as_JSON)
aprx = result.ArcGISProject

# Get the map view
m = aprx.listMaps()[0]
mv = m.defaultView

# Change the extent of the map view
ext = mv.camera.getExtent()
ext.XMin = ext.XMin + 100
ext.YMin = ext.YMin + 100
ext.XMax = ext.XMax + 100
ext.YMax = ext.YMax + 100
mv.camera.setExtent(ext)

# Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name
# This will ensure a unique output name
output = 'WebMap_{}.png'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output)

# Export the web map
mv.exportToPNG(Output_File, width=1000, height=1000, world_file=True, color_mode="32-BIT_WITH_ALPHA")

# Set the output parameter to be the output file of the server job
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, Output_File)

# Clean up
del mv, m, aprx, result
ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 3

In this example, a staged layout template (.pagx file) that contains vector equivalents of all the possible service layers is used. After running the ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject function, the script loops through all the layers in the output map, removing all the service layers from the web map JSON, leaving just the staged vector layers. The output layout is then exported to either a PDF or a .png file. This example also shows how to pass additional parameters (Georef_info) from the web app to the Python script beyond the standard parameters supported by the Print Task.

import arcpy
import os
import uuid

# The template location in the server data store
templatePath = '//MyServer/MyDataStore/Templates'

# Input WebMap JSON
Web_Map_as_JSON = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

# Format for output
Format = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

# Input layout template
Layout_Template = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
    
# Extra parameter - georef_info
Georef_info = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)

# Convert Georef_info string to boolean
if Georef_info.lower() == 'false': 
    Georef_info_bol = False
elif Georef_info.lower() == 'true': 
    Georef_info_bol = True
else:
    Georef_info_bol = True

# Get the requested layout template pagx file
templatePagx = os.path.join(templatePath, Layout_Template + '.pagx')
   
# Convert the WebMap to an ArcGISProject
result = arcpy.mp.ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject(Web_Map_as_JSON, templatePagx, "Layers Map Frame")
aprx = result.ArcGISProject
layout = aprx.listLayouts()[0]

# Reference the map that contains the webmap
m = aprx.listMaps('Web Map')[0]

# Remove the service layer
# This will just leave the vector layers from the template
for lyr in m.listLayers():
    if lyr.isWebLayer:
        m.removeLayer(lyr)
        
# Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name
# This will ensure a unique output name
output = 'WebMap_{}.{}'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()), Format)
Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output)

# Export the WebMap - use Georef_info_bol to control georeferencing
if Format.lower() == 'pdf':
    layout.exportToPDF(Output_File, georef_info=Georef_info_bol) 
elif Format.lower() == 'png':
    layout.exportToPNG(Output_File, world_file=Georef_info_bol)

# Set the output parameter to be the output file of the server job
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(4, Output_File) 

# Clean up
del layout, aprx, result
ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 4

In this example, the updateLayerFromJSON function from the Layer class is used to update the properties (for example, symbology) of a staged vector layer in the layout template with the layer definition of a dynamic layer from the web map JSON. This is useful if your web app allows changing the symbology of dynamic layers, and you want to replace the service layers with staged vector data but still maintain the updated symbology from the web app.

import arcpy
import os
import uuid
import json

# The template location in the server data store

# This is the layer that will get updated based on the layer definition in the JSON
lyr = m.listLayers("U.S. States (Generalized)")[0]

# Read the JSON and extract the layer definition
# In this case we have hardcoded it to second operational layer

layerDefinition = data["operationalLayers"][1]

# Update the staged vector layer with the layer definition (e.g. renderer info) from the JSON
lyr.updateLayerFromJSON(layerDefinition)

# Remove all service layers. This will leave only staged vector layers.
for slyr in m.listLayers():
    if slyr.isServiceLayer:
        m.removeLayer(slyr)

# Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name
# This will ensure a unique output name
output = 'WebMap_{}.pdf'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output)

ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 5

In this example, the script reads in a web map JSON, a layout template, and existing PDFs to which the web map will be appended. The output layout from the ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject function is exported as a PDF and inserted into other PDFs using the PDFDocument class.

ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 6

In this example, a staged layout template (.pagx file) that has a spatial map series enabled is used. The map series index features that intersect the extent of the web map are exported to a multipage PDF.

# Input Layout template
Layout_Template = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
templatePagx = os.path.join(templatePath, Layout_Template)

# Convert the web map to an ArcGIS Project

arcpy.SetParameterAsText(3, pdfMapSeries)
ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 7

This example demonstrates how to access the selected features from a feature service in the web map and display them in a report. The importDocument function on the ArcGISProject class is used to import a report file (.rptx) into the ArcGIS Pro project that is returned from ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject. By default, the report will only show selected features. The Report class is used to set the report's data source. The output layout and report are exported as PDFs and appended together using the PDFDocument class.

ConvertWebMapToArcGISProject example 8

This example demonstrates how to access the selected features from a feature service in the web map and display them in a table frame. The table frame in the staged layout template (.pagx file) uses a temporary layer that is removed in the script. This sample uses Python CIM access to update the source of the table frame to a layer from the web map.
