Frage 1

Frage
Which cursors of the arcpy.da module can be used to work with geometry objects using SHAPE@?
Antworten
  • SearchCursor, UpdateCursor, and InsertCursor
  • InsertCursor only
  • SearchCursor only
  • UpdateCursor only
  • UpdateCursor and InsertCursor

Frage 2

Frage
Which of the following is not a geometry token in ArcPy?
Antworten
  • SHAPE@
  • SHAPE@CENTROID
  • SHAPE@XY
  • SHAPE@LENGTH

Frage 3

Frage
What is the main reason to use geometry tokens instead of SHAPE@?
Antworten
  • Working with the full geometry objects of large datasets can be very slow
  • You only need SHAPE@ to create new features, not to read properties of existing ones
  • Geometry tokens give you access to the individual vertices of geometry objects, while SHAPE@ only gives you the entire geometry object
  • Some feature classes do not have a SHAPE field and using geometry tokens is the only option

Frage 4

Frage
When using geometry tokens in a search cursor for single part polylines and polygons, what does the search cursor return for each row in the feature attribute table?
Antworten
  • an array of point objects
  • an array containing an array of point objects
  • a list of point objects
  • a list containing a list of point objects

Frage 5

Frage
Consider the following script, in particular line 8 that uses getPart (0): import arcpy from arcpy import env env.workspace = "C:/Data" fc = "roads.shp" cursor = arcpy.da.SearchCursor (fc, ["OID@", "SHAPE@"]) for row in cursor: print ("Feature {0}: ".format (row[0])) for point in row[1].getPart (0): print ("{0}, {1}".format (point.X, point.Y)) Why is getPart (0) needed here, even if the features are all single part?
Antworten
  • For polylines and polygons, the cursor returns the parts of a geometry object as an array, so for single part features you need to get the first (and only) part
  • If you don't use getPart, all vertices for the entire feature class would print together and you would not be able to tell which vertices belong to which feature.
  • The use of getPart makes it possible to use the same script for point, polyline and polygon features.
  • All geometry objects consist of arrays of points, so get at the individual points you need to examine the parts.

Frage 6

Frage
Which property(ies) of a geometry objects is (are) used to determine whether a specific feature is multipart or single part?
Antworten
  • partCount
  • type
  • isMultipart
  • pointCount
  • shapeType

Frage 7

Frage
Some polygon features contain 'holes'. When you work with geometry objects for such polygons, how can you determine whether these holes are present?
Antworten
  • the geometry property ringCount is greater than 1 for polygons with holes
  • you can use the geometry property isExterior to determine whether an array of point objects is an exterior or interior ring
  • the shapeType property of the geometry object is MultiPatch instead of Polygon
  • the array of point objects for a feature contains 'null point objects' which seperate the exterior and interior rings

Frage 8

Frage
Consider a scenario where you write a script to create a new polyline out of a text file with coordinates for the vertices. You will need to use a cursor object to create new geometry objects. Which of the following is the correct line of code to set up your cursor object?
Antworten
  • cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc, ["SHAPE@"])
  • cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, "SHAPE@XY")
  • cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, "SHAPE@")
  • cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc, ["SHAPE@XY"])
  • cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor (fc, ["SHAPE@XY"])
  • cursor = arcpy.da.UpdateCursors(fc, ["SHAPE@XY"])

Frage 9

Frage
Consider the following script to print the coordinates of the vertices of the features of a feature class. import arcpy from arcpy import env env.workspace = "C:/Data" fc = "features.shp" cursor = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, ["OID@", "SHAPE@"]) for row in cursor: print ("Feature {0}: ".format(row[0])) partnum = 0 for part in row[1]: print ("Part {0}:".format(partnum)) for point in part: print ("{0}, {1}".format(point.X, point.Y)) partnum += 1 For which types of datasets will this script work correctly? (check all that apply)
Antworten
  • Single-part point features
  • Multi-part point features
  • Multi-part polygon features with holes
  • Multi-part polyline and polygon features
  • Single-part polyline and polygon features
  • Single-part polygon features with holes

Frage 10

Frage
Consider the following script to print the coordinates of the vertices of the features of a feature class. import arcpy from arcpy import env env.workspace = "C:/Data" fc = "features.shp" cursor = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, ["OID@", "SHAPE@"]) for row in cursor: print ("Feature {0}: ".format(row[0])) partnum = 0 for part in row[1]: print ("Part {0}:".format(partnum)) for point in part: print ("{0}, {1}".format(point.X, point.Y)) partnum += 1 Line 10 of the code reads 'for part in row[1]:'. Why does the code use row[1] instead of just row?
Antworten
  • because you only want to obtain the first part of the geometry object
  • because the search cursor returns a list and row[1] obtains the geometry object
  • because the script is only designed to work for single part features
  • because the search cursor returns a list and row[1] obtains the list of coordinates
  • because you want to start numbering the parts of each features at 1
