TopoContour
Summary
Defines a list of line feature classes that represent contours and the fields identifying their elevation values.
Discussion
This object is used in the tool Topo To Raster.
Syntax
TopoContour (inFeatures)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
inFeatures [[inFeature, {field}],...] |
The input line feature datasets. Optionally, you can supply the name of a field that stores the elevation values to use for the input lines. | List |
Properties
Property | Explanation | Data Type |
inFeatures (Read and Write) |
The input feature datasets and the fields to be used for the attributes. | List |
Code Sample
TopoContour example 1 (Python window)
Demonstrates how to create a TopoContour class and use it in the TopoToRaster tool within the Python window.
import arcpy from arcpy import env from arcpy.sa import * env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data" myTopoPtElev = TopoPointElevation([["spots.shp", "spot_meter"], ["spots2.shp", "elev"]]) myTopoContour = TopoContour([["contours.shp", "spot_meter"]]) myTopoBoundary = TopoBoundary(["boundary.shp"]) myTopoLake = TopoLake(["lakes.shp"]) myTopoSink = TopoSink([["sink1.shp", "elevation"], ["sink2.shp", "NONE"]]) myTopoStream = TopoStream(["streams.shp"]) outTopoToRaster1 = TopoToRaster([myTopoPtElev, myTopoContour, myTopoBoundary, myTopoLake, myTopoSink, myTopoStream]) outTopoToRaster1.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/ttraster1")
TopoContour example 2 (stand-alone script)
Interpolates a surface with TopoToRaster using the TopoContour class as one of the input parameters.
