The Centre for Geoinformation Science invites you to a research
seminar presented on:


Python scripting for Geoprocessing
by Yvette Bevis, ESRI South Africa

Python is a powerful scripting language commonly used to automate
tasks. It can be written and run in different environments, including
ArcGIS. Python is similar to other object-oriented programming
languages because it deals with functions, classes, and objects. ESRI
has written a module for python, named ArcPy, that adds special
functions, classes, and objects that deal specifically with ArcGIS and
its components. The ArcPy module provides access to all the
geoprocessing tools for tasks that you can perform in ArcGIS. This
lecture will focus on the use of python for geoprocessing tasks and
how to create custom tools using python.
