Layout

Synthèse

The Layout object references a single-page layout in an ArcGIS Pro project (.aprx). It provides access to common properties like page size and a number of different export methods.

Discussion

An ArcGIS Pro project can contain multiple page layouts. Layouts are accessed using the listLayouts method on the ArcGISProject object and it returns a Python list of Layout objects. It is important to uniquely name each layout so a specific page layout can be easily referenced by its name.

The listElements method provides access to all the elements on the page layout: GraphicElement, LegendElement, MapFrameElement, MapSurroundElement, PictureElement, and TextElement.

The Layout object is where you'll find access to a number of exportTo methods. Use the Layout export methods if you want to export the entire page layout. There is also a similar set of export methods available on the MapFrame class, if you only want to export the contents of a single map frame.

A layout can contain a single MapSeries. If the mapSeries property returns None, then a map series has not been created in the layout. You should also check to see if the map series is enabled before attempting to manipulate its properties.

Propriétés

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.

PDF files are designed to be consistently viewable and printable across various platforms. They are commonly used for distributing documents on the web, and the format is now an official ISO standard for document interchange.

PDF exports support embedding of fonts and can display symbology correctly even if the user does not have Esri fonts installed.

A PNG file is a versatile raster format file that can display in web browsers and be inserted into other documents. It supports high-bit-depth color and uses a lossless compression. For maps, PNG is often the best raster format, since the lossless compression keeps text and line work legible by preventing the compression artifacts that can occur in JPEG format. PNG files can also define a transparent color.

getDefinition (cim_version)
ParamètreExplicationType de données
cim_version

A string that represents the major version of the CIM.

String

CIM-level access to additional object properties was introduced at version 2.4. Esri follows the semantic versioning specification. This means that until the next major release—for example, 3.0—when breaking API changes are allowed, the value to be used with cim_version is V2. Once 3.0 is released, a new V3 option will become available. This gives Python script authors control over the CIM version that will be used during execution if there is a possibility that breaking changes may be introduced in the new version.

For more information about working with the CIM and samples, see Python CIM Access.

Type de donnéesExplication
List

A Python list of page layout elements. The types of objects that can be returned are GraphicElement, LegendElement, MapFrame, MapsurroundElement, PictureElement, and TextElement.

Each page element has a name property that can be set within the element properties dialog box. It is the layout author's responsibility to ensure each page element is given a unique name so that elements can be uniquely identified. If two elements have the same name, there is no way to ensure it is the element you want to reference.

The listElements method will return the elements within a group element into a flattened list. This makes it possible to easily search and replace text strings, for example, without having to navigate through a group element structure.

The element_type parameter can be skipped by passing an empty string or by including the parameter name for all parameters that follow the skipped parameter. For example

elm = lyt.listElements("", "Title")[0]

#or

elm = lyt.listElements(wildcard="Title")[0]

openView ()

This is useful if the layout view is not already open or another view is active in the application. The method creates a layout view zoomed to its full extent and activates it. To close other, existing views before opening a new view, use the ArcGISProject closeViews method.

Remarque :

This method is designed to be run in the application using a script tool, Notebook, or the Python window. It will have no effect if run outside of the application.

Exemple de code

Layout example 1

The following script uses the keyword current, so it should be run from the Python window. The script prints the name of each map in a project and its layers as well as the name of each layout and its page size.

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
for m in aprx.listMaps():
    print("Map: " + m.name)
    for lyr in m.listLayers():
        print("  " + lyr.name)
print("Layouts:")
for lyt in aprx.listLayouts():
    print(f"  {lyt.name} ({lyt.pageHeight} x {lyt.pageWidth} {lyt.pageUnits})")
Layout example 2

The following script will update a map frame's area of interest by zooming to each bookmark that belongs to a map called Yosemite National Park and exports the result to individual PDF documents.

import arcpy, os
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx")

lyt = aprx.listLayouts("Main Attractions*")[0]
mf = lyt.listElements("MAPFRAME_ELEMENT", "Yosemite National Park*")[0]

bkmks = mf.map.listBookmarks()
for bkmk in bkmks:
  mf.zoomToBookmark(bkmk)
  lyt.exportToPDF(os.path.join(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP", f"{bkmk.name}.pdf"))
del aprx
Layout example 3

The following script will check for the presence of a map series, then export two of its pages out to PDF.

import arcpy
import os
import sys
relpath = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(relpath + "\\MapSeries\\US_States.aprx")
l = p.listLayouts()[0]
if not l.mapSeries is None:
    ms = l.mapSeries
    if ms.enabled:
        ms.currentPageNumber = ms.getPageNumberFromName("Rhode Island") 
        ms.exportToPDF(relpath + "\\Output\\Ex1_RI.pdf", "CURRENT", resolution=300)
        ms.currentPageNumber = ms.getPageNumberFromName("Washington") 
        ms.exportToPDF(relpath + "\\Output\\Ex1_WA.pdf", "CURRENT")
