Zoom To and Take a Screen Grab

MPach — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 13:28:56 GMT

Does anyone have a script of know of someone that has one that Zooms to an area and takes a screen grab of it? I would imagine that someone has developed a short little script that does this which is why I am asking before I give it a shot. I wouldn't imagine there is a lot involved in creating it that might be challenging except for possibly waiting a few seconds after the area is zoomed to before taking the screen grab to allow for imagery to draw.

Thanks

In what application? ArcGIS Pro? Web map?

It would be in ArcGIS Desktop. I think I figured it out.

A 'zoom to' followed by a time.sleep(x number of seconds)

Then I'd use use

pyautogui.screenshot()

after installing PyAutoGUI.

Fingers crossed it's that simple. 🤞
