Does anyone know if there is anyway to access a feature layer's Display Filter query functionality from arcpy?
As an example, let's say I have a point feature layer with 5 point features. I'm going to create 2 buffers around each point, then export a layout PDF for each point showing the point with its 2 buffers. While it's possible to extract each point, buffer it twice, then generate the export, it seems more efficient to create the buffers for all of the points at once, then toggle visibility for the "screen grab" by selecting the correct feature in a layer. Unfortunately, lot's of internet searching hasn't provided any clues about whether I can control a layer's Display Filter query programmatically vs. only by the user interface. Although I suspect that functionality is NOT exposed, I figured I'd ask here before I gave up.
