String
DSID
(Lecture seule)

The dataset ID.

Integer
extent
(Lecture seule)

The Extent object.

Remarque :

extent is available for spatial datasets only.

Extent
isArchived
(Lecture seule)

Specifies whether the dataset has been archived. isArchived is only supported for an enterprise geodatabase.

Boolean
isVersioned
(Lecture seule)

Specifies whether the dataset is versioned.

Boolean
isTraditionalVersioned
(Lecture seule)

Specifies whether the dataset is traditional versioned.

Boolean
isBranchVersioned
(Lecture seule)

Specifies whether the dataset is branch versioned.

Boolean
MExtent
(Lecture seule)

A space-delimited string (minimum m-value, maximum m-value).

Remarque :

MExtent is available for spatial datasets only.

String
minimumRequiredClientVersion
(Lecture seule)

Specifies the minimum version of ArcGIS Pro required to open the dataset.

Remarque :

This property represents the minimum client version to access the dataset. For example, a value of 13.4 represents version 3.4 for ArcGIS Pro and version 11.4 for ArcGIS Enterprise.

The default value of 10.0 is used for unregistered datasets.

String
spatialReference
(Lecture seule)

Returns the SpatialReference object for the dataset.

Remarque :

spatialReference is available for spatial datasets only.

SpatialReference
workspace
(Lecture seule)

Returns a Describe object with the properties of the input dataset's workspace.

See Workspace properties for specific workspace-related Describe details.

Remarque :

Use this property to determine workspace properties for many data types including layers, and feature classes in a geodatabase that may or may not be in a feature dataset.

Describe
ZExtent
(Lecture seule)

A space-delimited string (minimum z-value, maximum z-value).

Remarque :

ZExtent is available for spatial datasets only.

String

Dataset properties example

The following stand-alone script displays dataset properties for a shapefile.

import arcpy

# Create a Describe object from the shapefile
#
desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/temp/xy.shp")

# Print dataset properties
#
print(("Dataset Type: {0}".format(desc.datasetType)))
print(("Extent:\n  XMin: {0}, XMax: {1}, YMin: {2}, YMax: {3}".format(
    desc.extent.XMin, desc.extent.XMax, desc.extent.YMin, desc.extent.YMax)))
print(("MExtent: {0}".format(desc.MExtent)))
print(("ZExtent: {0}".format(desc.ZExtent)))

print(("Spatial reference name: {0}:".format(desc.spatialReference.name)))
