Hi You're going to need to use decode() to get a unicode object, but you'll need to know the encoding to supply the argument it needs. ... View more

Berend is correct, we'll need to see your code to help, but what is happening is your shapefile is using a character encoding which you'll need to know in order to fix your processing, or you'll need to copy the data to a geodatabase so it is in a known encoding - UTF-8.  If there is a .cpg file with your shapefile then you can read it to get the encoding, otherwise you'll have to guess, which may get frustrating. ...

Hi As Xander more or less pointed out, 0-360 longitudes can be used to create GCS coordinates but any time you geoprocess the features they will be split into multipart across the 180.  If you need to work with single part features then project to a suitable  local coordinate system.

Hi In the feed entries the 'geometry' is given as sets of UGC or FIPS6 boundary names, for each weather warning.  You could read the XML with Requests, extract the records, generate geometry by (say) a Query on a feature service in ArcGIS Online or a local copy of the boundaries, then do a local overlay with your shapefile. This is quite a mission for someone new to Python. An alternative, if you have money to throw at this (licensing an extension), is creating a custom data format using the Data Interoperability extension - no coding but some configuration, based on reading RSS.

Hi In 10.3 we have: http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/manage-data/raster-and-images/drawing-raster-data-using-vector-symbols.htm Regards ... View more

To get north azimuth angles; try it: >>> for x1y1x2y2 in [(0,0,1,1),(0,0,1,-1),(0,0,-1,-1),(0,0,-1,1)]: ...     x1,y1,x2,y2 = x1y1x2y2[0],x1y1x2y2[1],x1y1x2y2[2],x1y1x2y2[3] ...     print str(math.degrees(math.atan2((x2 - x1),(y2 - y1)))) ...    45.0 135.0 -135.0 -45.0 The += is shorthand for degBearing = degBearing + 360.0 ...

Meanwhile, across the Tasman only expat Englishmen call soccer 'football', actual football is of course rugby (or 'footie') and has two sects, 'union' (the righteous one) and 'league', with strict segregation observed.  Australia has both too but also another code, which used to be called VFL (Victorian) or 'Aussie rules', but now goes by 'AFL'.  None of this is as confusing as the types of cricket games. ...

Hi, try this: #Function to return the north azimuth bearing of a line segment in degrees def NorthAzimuth(x1,y1,x2,y2):     degBearing = math.degrees(math.atan2((x2 - x1),(y2 - y1)))     if (degBearing < 0):         degBearing += 360.0     return degBearing ... View more

The error is in the tool validation, it looks to be caused by the workspace not supporting selection, is the MDB a Personal Geodatabase or a vanilla Access database?  The tool requires a GDB. ... View more

OK, my tool requires OID behavior, but you could try stringing a workflow together in Modelbuilder and precede the tool with a Make Query Table process that dummies up an OID in memory. regards ... View more

Hi The Data Interoperability extension Workbench application has a HoleCounter transformer for this. It will return 0 if a polygon has no holes, or the count of them if it does. Regards ... View more

Ivan, if you're getting crashes you should log a support call and forward the crash dumps. You will probably be asked to supply the locator you made (by zipping it up). Regards ... View more
