Hello everyone,
I'm short to give you my ultimate goal of importing into a MXD file a symbology from a Python
script.
In the wait, the script must scan a series of "image" objects, list them, integrate them into a .lyr file and complete the process by integrating it into the famous .MXD file.
I managed to list the pictures. To create a lyr file from an existing toc.
But I do not see how to turn them into .Lyr and inject everything into the MXD.
I am available for any exchange on this subject.
Hi Nicolas,
Would you be able to share your current script?
Also, to confirm, you would like to add a layer file to an MXD via python or you would like to apply the symbology from a layer file to a layer in an MXD?
Best of luck,
Marisa
Hi Marisa,
I'd like to add new symbology items (PNG files for example) on an empty layer on ArcMap. I don't have at first a .style element or anything else.
On docs, arcmap could read or update list of items via Python by creating an array. And I don't understand how to convert this array on a .style or .lyr file. And add this on an MXD file.
I can create a list :
I don't understand to create it in a Python array...
And at the end, is this example from ArcGIS Doc a good thinking way ?
Thanks for your reading.
Nicolas
