Resumen
The MapFrame object is a layout element that is used to display the contents of a map. It also provides access to layout size, positioning on the layout, basic navigation methods, and export options.
Debate
A MapFrame is a layout element that displays the geographic information added to a map. The listElements method on the Layout object returns a Python list of layout elements. To return a list of only map frames, use the MAPFRAME_ELEMENT constant for the element_type parameter. A wildcard can also be used to further refine the search based on the element's name.
The createMapFrame method on the Layout class will also return a map frame reference.
Once a MapFrame is referenced, the properties and methods allow you to do a variety of operations. First, There are basic properties that allow your to control the size, positioning, and visibility of the map frame on the layout. Second, there are several navigation methods such as panToExtent, zoomToAllLayers, and zoomToBookmark that allow you to modify the area of interest that is displayed in the map frame. Third, the map property allows you to change or get access to the associated map. From here, you can directly manage the layers, tables and basemaps in the map and also get access to the map's camera information, which allows you to modify the area of interest even more. You can switch maps of the same dimension or different dimensions. Finally, there are a number of export methods that allow you to export the map frame into a variety of export formats.
Sugerencia:
Exporting a MapFrame on a layout will produce more consistent results than trying to export a MapView outside of the application. A limitation of exporting a MapView is that map views only work with Python scripts run inside of the application. This is because the size of the window and the area of interest is only known when the application and its view panes are open.MapFrame export has all of the sizing information persisted in the element so scripts run from inside the application or run as stand-alone scripts outside the application will produce the same export result.

JPEG files are compressed image files. They support 24-bit color and are a popular choice for use on the web because a JPEG file size is often substantially smaller than many other image formats. However, the JPEG compression algorithm is lossy and is not recommended for many map images, as line drawings, and text or icon graphics become blurred by compression artifacts. Therefore, PNG is usually a superior format for map images. JPEG files can be generated with an accompanying world file for use as georeferenced raster data.

PDF files are designed to be consistently viewable and printable across different platforms. They are commonly used for distributing documents on the web, and the format is now an official ISO standard for document interchange. PDF files are editable in many graphics applications and retain map georeference information, annotation, labeling, and feature attribute data. PDF exports support embedding of fonts and can display symbology correctly even if the user does not have Esri fonts installed.
Review the PDFDocument class to learn more about how to manage PDF files, such as appending, inserting, and setting properties.

TIFF files are the best choice for importing into image editing applications and are also a common GIS raster data format. However, they cannot be natively viewed by a web browser. TIFF files also support georeferencing information in GeoTIFF tags or in a separate world file for use as raster data.
getDefinition (cim_version)
| Parámetro | Explicación | Tipo de datos |
cim_version | A string that represents the major version of the CIM that will be used.
| String |
| Tipo de datos | Explicación |
| Object | Returns the CIM definition for a MapFrame value. |
For more information about working with the CIM and samples, see Python CIM access.
getLayerExtent (layer, {selection_only}, {symbolized_extent})| Parámetro | Explicación | Tipo de datos |
layer | A reference to a Layer object. | Layer |
selection_only | If True, it returns the extent for selected features; if False, it returns the extent for all features. (El valor predeterminado es True) | Boolean |

The symbolized extent takes into account the area the symbology covers so that it does not get cut off by the data frame's boundary. (El valor predeterminado es True) | Boolean |
| Tipo de datos | Explicación |
| Extent | A geoprocessing Extent object. |
The getLayerExtent method will honor a layer's definition query, so if a subset of features are queried, it will return the extent for only those features. If there are no selected features, the extent for the layer will be returned.
panToExtent (extent)
This method is perfect for situations where the MapFrame scale should not change but the location should. Rather than setting the extent and then having to reset the scale each time, panToExtent maintains the scale and centers the current map frame on the new extent.
setAnchor (anchor)
| Parámetro | Explicación | Tipo de datos |
anchor | A string that specifies the location of the anchor position.
| String |
Setting the anchor position is helpful because you can control how the element might expand when resized. For example, the default anchor position for a map frame element is BOTTOM_LEFT_CORNER. If you change the anchor location to TOP_RIGHT_CORNER, changing elementHeight will expand the element downward instead of upward (the default), and changing elementWidth will expand the element to the left.
setDefinition (definition_object)
| Parámetro | Explicación | Tipo de datos |
definition_object | A modified CIM definition object originally retrieved using getDefinition. | Object |
For more information about working with the CIM and samples, see Python CIM access.
