Parameters

masking_layer

The symbolized input layer, which will be intersected with the masked layer to create masking polygons. This is the layer that will be more prominently displayed when masking is applied to the masked layer. (In, Required)

masked_layer

The symbolized input layer to be masked. This is the layer that will be obscured by the masking polygons. (In, Required)

output_fc

The feature class that will contain the mask features. (Out, Required)

reference_scale

The reference scale used for calculating the masking geometry when masks are specified in page units. This is typically the reference scale of the map. (In, Required)

spatial_reference

The spatial reference for which the masking polygons will be created. This is not the spatial reference that will be assigned to the output feature class. It is the spatial reference of the map in which the masking polygons will be used since the position of symbology may change when features are projected. (In, Required)

margin

The space in page units surrounding the symbolized input features used to create the mask polygon. Typically, masking polygons are created with a small margin around the symbol to improve visual appearance. Margin values are specified in either page units or map units. Most of the time you will want to specify your margin distance value in page units. (In, Required)

method

The type of masking geometry created. There are four types: (In, Required)

mask_for_non_placed_anno

Specifies whether to create masks for unplaced annotation. This option is only used when masking geodatabase annotation layers. (In, Required)
