default symbology

[ScottOatley]

Hi Folks,

The following arcpy script adds a raster image to the TOC:

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]
r = arcpy.mapping.Layer('C:/myimage.sid')
arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, r, "TOP")

It adds images successfully but defaults them all to an unacceptable symbology.

Any suggestions on how to get the images to load with appropriate colors, i.e. grey scale or rgb?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I think you can just opt to create a LYR file for raster with correct symbology then just change datasource manually or thru python.
