Layer properties

サマリ

The Describe function returns the following properties for Layers. Dataset Properties are also supported, as well as the properties of the data type, the layer references. For example, a layer that references a feature class will have access to FeatureClass Properties, while a layer that references a raster dataset will have access to Raster Dataset Properties.

Layer properties example (stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script displays some layer properties from an in-memory feature layer.

import arcpy

# Create an in memory feature layer from a feature class.
#
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(
        "C:/data/chesapeake.gdb/bayshed",
        "mainlines_layer")

# Create a Describe object from the feature layer.
#
desc = arcpy.Describe("mainlines_layer")

# Print some properties of the feature layer, and its featureclass.
#
print "Name String:        " + desc.nameString
print "Where Clause:       " + desc.whereClause
print "Feature class type: " + desc.featureClass.featureType
Layer properties example 2(stand-alone script)

The following stand-alone script displays some layer properties from a .lyr file.

import arcpy


# Create a Describe object from a .lyr file.
#
desc = arcpy.Describe("c:/data/water_pipes.lyr")

# Print some properties of the feature layer
#
print "Name String:        " + desc.nameString
print "Where Clause:       " + desc.whereClause

# Find out if the layer represents a feature class
if desc.dataElement.dataType == "FeatureClass":
    print "Feature class:      " + desc.dataElement.catalogPath
    print "Feature class Type: " + desc.featureClass.featureType
else:
    print "Not a regular feature class"
