Need any simple idea that would come to your mind. It is due in a few days, but I've been battling with what to create a program on, also Im a newbie when it comes to coding, even in Python. Any help is appreciated it!
I'm assuming this is for a school project....it would help to know a bit more about the project requirements so we know what scope the script should cover.
A few things that come to mind as very important for someone just learning how to make script tools in ArcGIS is understanding how to receive user input for script variables with GetParameterAsText.
A simple place to start would be thinking of a repetitive workflow that involves many steps that you can combine in one script. One example that comes to mind for something I might run into in my work is this - for every single county in a state, you need to clip the states stream data just for that county.
Hope that helps with the brainstorming, at least!
Hi, thank you for your kind reply. My professor mentioned we can do anything related to geoprocessing, it does not have to be anything extraordinary, it just has to apply what we learned in our activities (employing clip, buffer, etc., tools in our project).
Every geoprocessing tool has an arcpy syntax provided in online help. For example take a look at the clip tool; scroll down until you see the Syntax heading...
In that case, the simplest place to start might be taking one of your assignments for the class that you had to do manually, and doing the same workflow via a script.
I think I will just import a shapefile, add some features, and run geoprocessing tools via a script for basic understanding. I don't want it to get too complicated. Although I did want to ask you one more question if you don't mind.
