How do I re-write the below code to work in ArGIS 10.1? Do I use Python and if so what would the code look like?
Does Python allow user interactive screen input to select objects the way Avenue does?
Below is a typical Avenue script that will flip the direction of a line for correct address routing of a road centerline:
Thanks in advance!
Does Python allow user interactive screen input to select objects the way Avenue does?
Below is a typical Avenue script that will flip the direction of a line for correct address routing of a road centerline:
Code:
theView = av.GetActiveDoc
theDisplay = theView.GetDisplay
theTheme = theView.GetActiveThemes.Get(0)
theRectangle = theView.ReturnUserRect
'Select a line by User screen selection - either a Rectangle or Point
If (theRectangle.IsNull) then
thePoint = theView.GetDisplay.ReturnUserPoint
theTheme.SelectByPoint(thePoint,#VTAB_SELTYPE_NEW)
else
theTheme.SelectByRect(theRectangle,#VTAB_SELTYPE_NEW)
end
theFTab = theTheme.GetFTab
field1 = theFTab.FindField("Shape")
for each rec in theFTab.GetSelection
aline = theFTab.ReturnValue(field1,rec)
'SET THE FLIPPED LINE TO A VARIABLE
newline = aline.flip
'SET THE SHAPE FIELD'S VALUE TO NEWLINE
theFTab.SetValue(field1, rec, newline)
end
theFTab.GetSelection.ClearAll
'INVALIDATE THE VIEW
theView.invalidate
theDisplay.Flush
