  1. Desktop Mapping: Building Map Books Michael Grossman Jeff Barrette

  2. Map Book Options • Data Driven Pages (DDP) • User interface approach to building map pages • arcpy.mapping • Scripting framework for automating map output • Can be used to automate complete map book production and to extend DDP UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Desktop Mapping: Building Map Books

  3. Types of Map Books • Collection of map pages • plus additional pages like: • titles, Table of Contents, index pages, etc. • Most common are Reference map books • series of pages that iterate across a geographic area • reference grid based, strip maps, or feature based • DDP or arcpy.mapping UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Desktop Mapping: Building Map Books

  4. Types of Map Books (cont.) • Thematic • all pages have the same extent • each page shows unique layers • arcpy.mappingonly • Temporal • mapping time series data • each page shows unique data and time • arcpy.mapping only UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Desktop Mapping: Building Map Books

  5. Data Driven Pages • Index layer • Single map layout • Pages based on feature extents • Other map updates • Dynamic legends, text, and pictures • Learn more: http://esriurl.com/11533 UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Desktop Mapping: Building Map Books

  6. Data Driven Pages Jeff Barrette

  7. What is arcpy.mapping? Python mapping module that is part of the ArcPy site-package Access Map Document contents via Python Automate map exporting and printing Automate map production and create map books Extend Data Driven Pages capabilities UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Python Map Automation: Introduction to arcpy.mapping / arcpy.mp

  8. arcpy.mapping Jeff Barrette

  9. More about arcpy.mapping A Python API that allows users to: Manage map documents, layer files, and their contents find a layer with data source X and replace with Y update a layer’s symbology in many MXDs generate reports that list document information data sources, broken layers, spatial reference info, etc. Build Map Books Detailed examples with sample Python scripts: http://esriurl.com/11529 UC2016 - Technical Workshop - Python Map Automation: Introduction to arcpy.mapping / arcpy.mp

  10. Pro ArcGIS 64 Bit, multi-threaded Simplified user interface Integrated with ArcGIS Online Combined 2D/3D experience Multiple maps and map layouts Project based Improved drawing performance Imports your existing MXDs
