GIS Programming Module 6

This week we began working with arcpy and learning to code using geoprocessing functions. The lab assignment was to write a short script that calls a series of geoprocessing tools and prints the resulting messages (the same ones that would appear in the geoprocessing results window of ArcMap).

Specifically, it: adds XY coordinate data to the "hospitals" shapefile (Add XY tool) > prints messages > creates a 1000 meter buffer around features in the "hospitals" shapefile (Buffer tool) > prints messages > dissolves the individual buffers into a single feature (Dissolve tool) > prints messages

Here are the results in PythonWin when the script is run:
