I want to move the map by entering the distance. For example, I want to move the data frame 5 Feet North. I am using an if elif else statment to provide a statement that moves the map. The script returns no errors. I do not want to use df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent(), because it zooms to full extent. I want to be able to move the map. Similiar to using a pan, but by entering a specific distance in cardinal directions.
Code:
import arcpy, os, sys
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, df)[0]
North = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
South = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
East = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
West = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)
if North > 0:
whereClause = ''' "North" = '{0}' AND "South" = '{1}' AND "East" = '{2}' AND "West" = '{3}' '''.format(North, South, East, West)
elif South > 0:
whereClause = ''' "North" = '{0}' AND "South" = '{1}' AND "East" = '{2}' AND "West" = '{3}' '''.format(North, South, East, West)
elif East > 0:
whereClause = ''' "North" = '{0}' AND "South" = '{1}' AND "East" = '{2}' AND "West" = '{3}' '''.format(North, South, East, West)
elif West > 0:
whereClause = ''' "North" = '{0}' AND "South" = '{1}' AND "East" = '{2}' AND "West" = '{3}' '''.format(North, South, East, West)
else:
whereClause = ''' "North" = '{0}' AND "South" = '{1}' AND "East" = '{2}' AND "West" = '{3}' '''.format(North, South, East, West)
