Zoom/Pan function in python addin tool

Akhilkumar1 — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 04:59:06 GMT

I have created one python addin tool which creates some points along a line, it works good.

my problem is when my tool gets activated i am not able able to zoom/pan the map. map view just get stuck wherever it was before clicking on that tool.

more elaborately when i am in the middle of creating a line map view get stuck.

using below code:

class PointAddressCreateClass(object): """Implementation for PointAddressCreate_addin.tool (Tool)""" def __init__(self): self.enabled = True self.shape = "Line" # Can set to "Line", "Circle" or "Rectangle" for interactive shape drawing and to activate the onLine/Polygon/Circle event sinks. def onMouseDown(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onMouseDownMap(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onMouseUp(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onMouseUpMap(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onMouseMove(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onMouseMoveMap(self, x, y, button, shift): pass def onDblClick(self): pass def onKeyDown(self, keycode, shift): pass def onKeyUp(self, keycode, shift): pass def deactivate(self): pass def onCircle(self, circle_geometry): pass def onLine(self, line_geometry): ***Some Code HERE****

its main functionality lies in "def onLine(self, line_geometry)" function. so when i click on the map and start to create a line on map, i want zoom/pan functionality at that time.

i guess there should be a function to zoom/pan in active view by either mouse scrolling or may be any other method
