Export Layout as GeoTIFF in ArcGIS 10?

VictoriaSkytt

Hi,
Does anyone know how to export a Layout made in ArcGIS 10 as a GeoTIFF?

Many thanks for any ideas!

If you mean export the MXD to geotiff, you can go to File > Export Map, select TIFF in the Save as type, and at the bottom go to the Format tab, and check on Write GeoTIFF Tags.

Thanks for your reply, but the thing is that I can not select "Write GeoTIFF Tags" since it is greyed out. Do i need to have PLTS or is there any other way to do it? For ArcGIS 9.3.1 I have used a VB-script, but can not use the script in ArcGIS 10.

Many thanks for your assistance on this.

You have to be in Data View and not Layout View.

Hi again,
Yes it works for the data View, but I need to export the produced Map as a GeoTIFF. I have done this in version 9.3 using a VB-script:

Public Function Export_Layout_Geotiff()

Do you know of any way to do this in version 10 - how do I convert the VB-script to a Python-script?

VictoriaSkytt

Anyone with any ideas? I still have not found a solution to this problem, so all thoughts are highly appreciated.

This probably won't help but since you aren't getting any answers I'll offer it as something you might fiddle with. This is python window code I got from the 10.1 beta forums for exporting to a georeferenced tif. It is for the Data Driven Pages although that is easy to set up even for one a single export. You would substitute your map document name, data frame name and paths.

My problem is I can't get it to produce a properly georeferenced tif from layout or view (although it seems to do either equally well); it is in the right "location but slightly rotated and compressed E-W. I figure the problem is mine, however, so you might make it work.

I just noticed that when this is posted it makes no sense, the indents are lost and the word wrapping is odd. So I'll separate the lines to deal with word wrapping, and note that the two lines after the statement beginning with "for" should be indented to work; one beginning with mxd and the other with arcpy. The third and last line after the for statement is not indented and it begins with del.

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\GIS\Moxie\a_maps_covertype testDDP_Mapbook_covertype_2010_anno.mxd")

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]

for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):

mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum

arcpy.mapping.ExportToTIFF(mxd, r"C:\GIS\Moxie\a_maps_covertype\testDDP_Mapbook_covertype_2010_anno_Page" + str(pageNum) + ".tif", df, df_export_width=6119, df_export_height=5706, geoTIFF_tags=True)

del mxd

I just got a confirmation that it may not be me, or even the code per se, but there may be a bug in ArcGIS causing the exported geotiff to be distorted. So I guess you can skip trying the code out. Sorry.

DavidCampbell

I am having the greyed out problem as well, ever figure this out?

You have to be in Data View instead of Layout view to export.
