LabelClass

Résumé

Provides access to a layer's label class properties.

Discussion

The LabelClass object is used for managing labeling properties such as label expressions or SQL queries that are associated with a layer's individual label classes. The listLabelClasses method on the Layer object will return a list of LabelClass objects.

Not all layers support labeling, so it is useful to test this ahead of time using the supports method on the Layer object. For example:

if lyr.supports("SHOWLABELS"):

If this statement is True, you will be able to modify all label class properties.

Propriétés

Propriété	Explication	Type de données
expression (Lecture et écriture)	A layer's individual label class expression using either a VBScript, JScript, or Python parser associated with the label class.	String
name (Lecture et écriture)	A layer's individual label class name.	String
SQLQuery (Lecture et écriture)	A layer's individual label class SQLQuery. This is useful for restricting labels to certain features.	String
visible (Lecture et écriture)	If True, the label class is visible. If False, it is not visible.	Boolean

Exemple de code

LabelClass example 1

The following script will print the label class properties for only those layers that have labels turned on and supports the showLabels property.

import arcpy
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx")
m = aprx.listMaps("Yosemite National Park")[0]

for lyr in m.listLayers():
    if lyr.supports("SHOWLABELS"):
        if lyr.showLabels:
            print("Layer name: " + lyr.name)
            for lblClass in lyr.listLabelClasses():
                print("\t Class Name: \t" + lblClass.name)
                print("\t Expression: \t" + lblClass.expression)
                print("\t SQL Query:  \t" + lblClass.SQLQuery)
del aprx

LabelClass example 2

The following script finds a layer named Points of Interest and changes the label class properties for a particular label class named Summit so that not all of the summits are labeled. Only those over 2,000 meters in elevation are labeled.

import arcpy
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx")
m = aprx.listMaps("Yosemite National Park")[0]

lyr = m.listLayers("Points of Interest")[0]

if lyr.supports("SHOWLABELS"):
  lblClass = lyr.listLabelClasses("Summit")[0]
  lblClass.expression = "Name"
  lblClass.SQLQuery = "Type_ = 'summit' And Elevation > 2000"
  lblClass.visible = True

aprx.save()
del aprx
