Translate user mapping requirements into ArcPy solutions

Have you ever been asked to automate a mapping task, which starts out from a very simple set of requirements, only to have more requirements emerge each time you show the stakeholders your solution?

Being skilled, and agile enough, to keep meeting expanding requirements is guaranteed to delight your stakeholders, and give you immense personal satisfaction, for a job well done.

In this course, I’ll go through such a scenario, by setting a few initial requirements, that I would like you to meet using Python and ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro, and encouraging you to try and do that, before providing my solution to those requirements. 

I’ll then expand upon those requirements, encourage you to upgrade your solution, and then provide my solution to the new requirements.

So that you are not kept in the dark about our end goal, I’ve attached a multi-page PDF file to the course, which illustrates the output of the final requirements.  If you view that and think, “I wish I knew how to do that”, then this is the course for you!

In this course of 26 lectures, which is suitable for English-speaking students from anywhere in the world, things that you will use and learn include:

  • ArcGIS Pro Project, Map and Layout authoring
  • Layer configuration options
  • Python string formatting
  • Using ArcGISProject, Map, Layout, MapFrame objects
  • Placing a graticule around a MapFrame
