Test for XY inside Polygon

[jaykapalczynski]

Im trying to do this and stuck

1. Take a JSON string with address and distance set those to variables
2. Geocode the Address to get an XY and set those to Variables
3. Buffer a polygon of the state using the distance variable created from the DataInput JSON 
4. Define the State Boundary
5. Buffer the State Boundary and set into memory
6. Test ot see if the point is within that Buffered State Boundary
7. Return True if its within and False if Outside the Buffered State Boundary

ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\ArcGIS Server\ArcGIS\xxxxxxxx.py", line 87, in <module>
results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(ptGeometry, 'INTERSECT', 'IN_MEMORY/BufferGeom')

Can Anyone see anything obvious as to why I am tripping this error?

OK that removed the error and an oversight by me.....thanks for the eyes....

For some reason I am getting true for any address....I think my code to test if its in or not is not working correctly.

If I put in an address for Wyoming it returns true....I set the variable to false at the beginning but for some reason I get a count from the results variable either way....

Any ideas where this test for the result is wrong?

    # TEST TO SEE IF POINT IS INSIDE THE BUFFERED GEOMETRY
    results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("point_lyr", 'INTERSECT', 'IN_MEMORY/BufferGeom')

    #Test if there are any polygons points:  
    if int(arcpy.GetCount_management(results).getOutput(0))==0:  
        #raise Exception("Selected points do not overlap any polygons.")  
        print "Selected points do not overlap any polygons."
        varResult = "true"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Woke up at 3am and it dawned on my that I might be having issues with the projection of the Feature Class and the Point created from the Geocode...think once I fix that it might work....testing that this morning.

[jaykapalczynski]

NAH that did not work....but at least the polygon state layer is WGS84 and the point being geocoded is output in WGS 84 so thats on the same page but I never return any features.....

[jaykapalczynski]

dan patterson‌ OK I got it working but it seems the issue is around the point feature that I am creating from the Geocoded results...

Any thoughts? The data is in WGS84

If I point this to a point Feature Class as such this WORKS

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/CountySelection/xx.sde/Test", "testPoint")

results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('testPoint', 'WITHIN', 'IN_MEMORY/BufferGeom') ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But I need to create a Point reference from the Geocoded XY this FAILS

# CREATE THE POINT FROM THE X AND Y
point = arcpy.Point(coordinateX, coordinateY)
ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(point)

# DEFINE THE POINT FEATURE CLASS
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, 'point_lyr')

results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('point_lyr', 'WITHIN', 'IN_MEMORY/BufferGeom') ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

[RandyBurton]

I assume BufferGeom is the polygon layer, so perhaps something like:

x = -75.369027 # longitude
y = 37.935822 # latitude

# WGS 1984: 4326
# GCS North American 1983: 4269 ## use the factory/authority code for BufferGeom layer
ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(4269))

results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('IN_MEMORY/BufferGeom', 'CONTAINS', ptGeometry, selection_type="NEW_SELECTION")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

[jaykapalczynski]

randy burton‌  Thanks for your input...

If I do the below I am getting this error thrown back at me....

Maybe I should project all my data and use a different coord system?

Note:  My polygon layer (state of VA) is:  GCS_WGS_1984 WKID: 4326 Authority: EPSG

varsearchDistance = This value comes from a Parameter being sent to the .py script via a JSON string.  It is in miles and I then convert ot meters.

[jaykapalczynski]

Think I might have it....Using the MakeFeatureLayer to take the ptGeometry and make a feature layer....

ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(coordinateX,coordinateY),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(4269))

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, "PointfromGeocode")‍‍‍

Also changed the Coord system to match that of my State Layer (webaux sphere)

ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(3857))‍

For some reason not finding the XY coordinates keep telling me no matches...

    matchcount = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(results)[0]) 

    if matchcount == 0:
        print('no features matched spatial and attribute criteria')
    else:
        print('found something')
        print ""
        varResult = "true"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

[jaykapalczynski]

OK ... Puzzled here....I can get this to work if I reference the point that is in a Feature Class but

I cannot get it to work with the result from my Geocoded address and resulting XY

My original address that is geocoded is WGS84 I convert that to UTM Nad83 Zone 17N (26917)

The state State layer is stored in UTM Nad83 Zone17N (26917) Meters

The input from the parameters is Miles and I am converting that distance to Meters.

I know the distance thing is working because I can test that against a Point that is outside the state in a Feature Class and increase that distance and it eventually finds it...

Any thoughts as to why the Geocoded result is not being found...I am converting this to the Appropriate Spatial Reference.....ugggggg

This Does NOT work

    ## CONVERT MILE TO METERS FOR SPATIAL BUFFER
    # Value received from input parameter in JSON string
    distanceMeters = int(varsearchDistance) * 1609.34
   arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/Virginia_UTM_Meters", "state_lyr")

    x = -77.434769 # longitude
    y = 37.541290 # latitude

    # convert from WGS84 to UTM zone 17N
    ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(26917))

    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, "PointfromGeocode")

    distance = int(distanceMeters)
       
    results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('PointfromGeocode', 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION')  ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This works - only real difference is that I am pointing to a Feature Class point instead of usign the XY to create the point geometry

    ## CONVERT MILE TO METERS FOR SPATIAL BUFFER
    # Value received from input parameter in JSON string
    distanceMeters = int(varsearchDistance) * 1609.34
   arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/Virginia_UTM_Meters", "state_lyr")

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/TestPoint", "testPoint")

    distance = int(distanceMeters)
       
    results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('testPoint', 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION')  ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

HOW CAN I Test this new Layer?  I tried the below but I dont get anything returned.

    ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(26917))
    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, "PointfromGeocode")

    print "start"

    fields = ['SHAPE@XY']

    with arcpy.da.SearchCursor('PointfromGeocode', fields) as cursor:
        for row in cursor:
            print(u'{0}'.format(row[0]))

    print "end of first"
