TopoLake

Summary

Defines a list of polygon feature classes that specify the location of lakes.

Discussion

This object is used in the tool Topo To Raster.

All output raster cells within a lake will be assigned to the minimum elevation value of all cells along the shoreline.

Syntax

TopoLake (inFeatures)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
inFeatures [inFeature,...]	The input feature datasets.	String

Properties

Property	Explanation	Data Type
inFeatures (Read and Write)	The input feature datasets.	String

Code Sample

TopoLake example 1 (Python window)

Demonstrates how to create a TopoLake 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")

TopoLake example 2 (stand-alone script)

Interpolates a surface with TopoToRaster using the TopoLake class as one of the input parameters.
