Hello!
Some time ago, I inserted a transparent image in the layout to use as a background for the caption. After inserting it in the layout I adjusted it to the desired size (rectangular).
I recently moved the image to another folder and renamed it. Of course I forgot the detail of the path in the layouts!
To repair the broken path I used the code (below, available at https://desktop.arcgis.com). However, when I open the project, the image is in another size (square).
Is there any way to avoid this and preserve the size?
Thanks!
Code sample
PictureElement example 1
The following script will find an image by name and set its data source to a new location.
import arcpymxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Project\Project.mxd")for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "PICTURE_ELEMENT"): if elm.name == "Photo": elm.sourceImage = r"C:\Project\Data\NewPhoto.bmp"mxd.save()del mxd
