サマリー
The LayerTime object provides information about how time is stored and configured in time-enabled layers.
説明
Time information, such as the fields containing the time values associated with the features, start and end time of the data, the time-step interval, and so on, can be used for not only gaining knowledge about the time properties on the time-enabled layer but also for performing further data management and analysis tasks over time. Example 1 below shows how you can get the time extent of your time-enabled layer using the startTime and endTime. Example 2 below shows how you can select features based on a time query, then save those features to a separate feature class. You can also use the time information to ensure that the time specified for selecting the features lies within the start and end time of the layer.
The enableTime method on the Layer class allows you to enable time on a layer that has time information and therefore making access to LayerTime properties possible. The second example below demonstrates enableTime.
プロパティ
| プロパティ | 説明 | データ タイプ |
| daylightSavings (読み書き) | Indicates whether the time values in the time field of the time-enabled layer were collected while observing daylight saving time rules in the input time zone. | Boolean |
| endTime (読み書き) | The end date and time for a time-enabled layer. | DateTime |
| endTimeField (読み書き) | The name of the field containing the end time values. Not all layers use an end time field. If each feature has a single time field, only the startTimeField will be used and endTimeField will be None. If each feature has a start and end time field, both the startTimeField and endTimeField will be used. | String |
| startTime (読み書き) | The start date and time for a time-enabled layer. | DateTime |
| startTimeField (読み書き) | The name of the field containing the start time values. If each feature has a single time field, only the startTimeField will be used and endTimeField will be None. If each feature has a start and end time field, both the startTimeField and endTimeField will be used. | String |
| timeDimension (読み書き) | The name of the dimension containing time values when using netCDF data. | String |
| timeFormat (読み書き) | The format in which the time values were stored in the startTimeField and endTimeField. The time format is important when formulating a time query. | String |
| timeOffset (読み書き) | The time offset applied to the time values in your data. | Double |
| timeOffsetUnits (読み書き) | The time offset unit that describes the timeOffset applied to the time values in your data.
| String |
| timeStepInterval (読み書き) | The time-step interval defines the granularity of the temporal data. The time-step interval can be thought of as how often the time values were recorded in your data. | Double |
| timeStepIntervalUnits (読み書き) | The time-step interval unit that describes the timeStepInterval applied to the time values in your data.
| String |
| timeZone (読み書き) | The time zone for the time-enabled layer. ヒント:For a list of valid time zone strings, see ListTimeZones. | String |
コードのサンプル
The following script tests whether layers in a layer file support time and whether time properties have been set. It then uses time information (start time and end time) to calculate the time extent of a time-enabled layer.
import arcpy
lyrFile = arcpy.mp.LayerFile(r'C:\Projects\Time\ShipPositions.lyrx')
for lyr in lyrFile.listLayers():
if lyr.supports('TIME'):
if lyr.isTimeEnabled:
lyrTime = lyr.time
startTime = lyrTime.startTime
endTime = lyrTime.endTime
timeDelta = endTime - startTime
print(f"Layer: {lyr.name}")
print(f" Start Time: {str(startTime.strftime('%m-%d-%Y'))}")
print(f" End Time: {str(endTime.strftime('%m-%d-%Y'))}")
print(f" Time Extent: {str(timeDelta.days)} days")
else:
print("No time properties have been set on the layer")
else:
print("Time is not supported on this layer")The following script creates a feature class from input features valid at a certain time, while ensuring that the selection time is within the time extent (start time and end time) of the time-enabled layer.
