I am using extras/clusterlayer to render clusters for a uniquevalue renderer.. all that works well and good except that the label colors are all white/black/whatever you set them to.. I though I'd just loop through the cluster layer object and change the label colors on a per graphic basis based on the color it got from the renderer.. This does not work. All label change color even if you specifically change one graphic. The loop is working and it seems to swap the colors properly but in the end the last color applied to the label has been propagated through all the graphics.. the little test loop below should alternate white and black labels for each cluster.. It doesn't, the best i can get it to do is change all the labels from black to white and back again.   clusterLayer.setRenderer(UniRenderer);    var graphics = clusterLayer.graphics;   console.log(graphics.length);    for(var i=0; i<graphics.length;i++)    {    if(i%2==0)    {   console.log("black");    //have also tried clusterLayer.graphics._graphicsLayer.clusterLabelColor   clusterLayer.graphics[i]._layer._clusterLabelColor= "#000";    }    else    {   console.log("white");   clusterLayer.graphics[i]._layer._clusterLabelColor= "#FFF";    }    //console.log(label);    //label = "#000";    }   console.log(clusterLayer);    var symbolList = clusterLayer.renderer._symbols; ...

I have created standard annotations which are simply text on the map and i need to edit the text contained within. I though that these text annotations would be stored as text elements in the MXD, however it appears that they are not. Is there any way to edit these annotations with python? ... View more

Hello, Have an interesting problem. I have a table of data, (no geometry). I have Polygon features. What I would like to do is, based on polygon geometry, generate and place the table data as evenly distributed points within the polygon. Anyone have any ideas on where to start? I am in the midst of digging through coordinate geometry maths, but I really have no idea where i should start. Thank you. ... View more

Whenever I write/run python scripts I like to have some text confirmations of various steps along the way. The irritating thing is that the Python Window doesn't seem to scroll with the text that the script produces, forcing you to either click the scroll bar or just wait till its all done. Is there any sort of way to have the Python window scroll with any new text printed to screen? thanks ... View more

Hello, Just curious if it is possible to find the pixel dimensions ie 1680x800(or whatever) of the data view window directly? my indirect plans to accomplish this are to build a function which will export a temporary image and gather its dimensions using PIL. The main function can then use the returned values for X and Y dimensions and move on accordingly. Thought i would ask about a more direct route before a start wandering down the path of uncertainty. thanks ... View more

EDIT: I figured it out.. apparently if there is data in the TOC it gets confused. By deleting the data from the TOC on each run through the loop i was able to get the append operation to work... odd problem with a simple solution. Thanks for taking a look, here is the updated  main for loop for mdb in mdbList:  env.workspace = destSpace  destList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()    print "Dest Length = " + str(len(destList))  tempSpace = mxdPath.replace("SetupRUN.mxd", mdb)  env.workspace = tempSpace  fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()  print "Destination MDB - " +str(destSpace)  print "Source MDB      - " + str(tempSpace)   if len(destList) == 0:   for fc in fcList:    arcpy.Copy_management(fc, destSpace + "\\"+fc)    print "copied FC - " +str(fc)    elif len(destList) >=1:   for fc in fcList:    for dest in destList:     if fc == dest:      print "Source FC      - "+ fc      print "Destination FC - "+ dest      print "Destination location - "+ destSpace + "\\" + fc      arcpy.Append_management([fc], destSpace + "\\" + fc, "NO_TEST" , "" , "")  for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd):   for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df):    arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, lyr) Hi. I am working on a bit of python to merge many MDB worth of FC into a new freshly created MDB. For the most part they are the same. the error is ERROR 000572: The output cannot be the same as input. Failed to execute (Append) I have been trying to reconcile this error for the better part of a few days with no luck. I am almost positive that the source and destination are different things.

Hi, we have a script that updates definition queries in MXDs and the data is mirrored in an arcglobe 3dd file as well. The script can not be run in arcglobe using arcpy.mapping.mapdocument("current") is there a workaround to allow the script to run? ... View more

Hello, I have a table of data i would like to place into an existing template CSV. The attached csv  is the template i'd like to populate. The cells are numbered in the order that the data is generated in the source table.  is there a way to write each cell as they are created by the statistics operation? I am not constrained to a CSV, i could do excel too.. really anything that would allow me to match the generated statistic to the appropriate position in the table. ... View more
