ConvertWebMapToMapDocument

Zusammenfassung

Converts a web map (in JSON format) that you intend to print or export to a map document. The map document can be further modified before finally being printed or exported.

Beschreibung

The ConvertWebMapToMapDocument function will convert a web map that you intend to print or export to a map document. Once the document is converted, the full state of the web map exists in the map document. The map document can then be further modified before finally being printed or exported to a common format such as PDF. ConvertWebMapToMapDocument would most commonly be used when printing a map from a web GIS application using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.

The ConvertWebMapToMapDocument function is primarily intended for workflows where the web map needs to be modified or exported using arcpy.mapping functions. Some example workflows that can be met using the ConvertWebMapToMapDocument function are as follows:

• Swapping out service layers for local vector data—In arcpy.mapping scripts, service layers can be identified and swapped out for layers that point to local data. This is commonly desired when a vector output is wanted instead of service layers. For example, vector PDF output supports the following in PDF viewing applications: toggling layer visibility, viewing of feature attributes, and viewing of map coordinates. One way to accomplish swapping service layers for vector data would be to stage template map documents that contain vector equivalents of all the possible service layers. After executing the ConvertWebMapToMapDocument function, loop through all the layers in the output map document, removing all layers except the vector layers that correspond to the service layers in the web map. This workflow would be used when swapping your own services with the corresponding vector data that you already have.
• Creating map books—A map series can be generated if Data Driven Pages is enabled on the template_mxd. Moreover, the output map document can be exported as a PDF and inserted into other PDFs using the PDFDocument class to create a complete map book.
• Exporting using advanced options—All of the arcpy.mapping export functions have many advanced options. For example, the ExportToPDF function has parameters for controlling raster and vector compression, defining colorspace, embedding fonts, and so on.
• Controlling the appearance of the legend—The arcpy.mapping module provides the ability to remove legend items or modify their style items with custom settings using the LegendElement class and ListStyleItems function.

Hinweis:

ArcGIS Server also includes a geoprocessing service named PrintingTools. The PrintingTools service can be used in a web application to generate a high-cartographic-quality printable image. For more information regarding the PrintingTools service, see the following:

• Printing in web applications

Once you have a Python script that prepares the map for printing, you can encapsulate it in a geoprocessing script tool. You can then publish the script tool as an ArcGIS Server geoprocessing service. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript has a Print Task that you can use in your web GIS application. The Print Task has a URL property that will point to the REST URL of the geoprocessing service you created.

For more information on geoprocessing services, see the following:

• What is a geoprocessing service?
• A quick tour of authoring and sharing geoprocessing services
• A quick tour of publishing a geoprocessing service
• Essential vocabulary for geoprocessing services

When using ConvertWebMapToMapDocument in a geoprocessing service in the ArcGIS Web APIs, the parameter names of the script tool must match the ArcGIS Web API Print Task parameters:

Parameter Name	Data Type	Explanation
Web_Map_as_JSON	String	A JSON representation of the state of the map to be exported as it appears in the web application. The ArcGIS Web APIs (JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight) allow developers to easily get this JSON string from the web application.
Output_File	File	Output file name. The extension of the file depends on the Format parameter.
Format	String	The format in which the map image for printing will be delivered. The following strings are accepted: PNG8 (default if the parameter is left blank) PNG PDF PNG32 JPG GIF EPS SVG SVGZ
Layout_Template	String	Either a name of a template from the list or the keyword MAP_ONLY. When MAP_ONLY is chosen or an empty string is passed in, the output map does not contain any page layout surroundings (for example, title, legends, and scale bar).

Tipp:

Any number of additional user-defined parameters can also be added. The ability to pass extra parameters into a custom print task is useful, as it allows you to collect any number of extra parameters from the web application and pass them into the Python script.

ConvertWebMapToMapDocument would most commonly be used when printing a map from a web application. When you use the ArcGIS Web API Print Task, you don't need to create the web map JSON; the APIs take care of it for you. However, before the script can be published and used in the web APIs, it has to be run locally. Any valid web map JSON string can be used when running the script locally. A JSON string similar to what your web application will be returning may be required for your script to run successfully. See ExportWebMap specification to understand how this text should be formatted. A sample string is below:

{
    "layoutOptions": {
        "titleText": "Simple WebMap JSON example"
    },
    "operationalLayers": [
        {
            "url": "http://maps1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/USA_Federal_Lands/MapServer",
            "visibility": true
        }
    ],
    "exportOptions": {
        "outputSize": [
            1500,
            1500
        ]
    },
    "mapOptions": {
        "extent": {
            "xmin": -13077000,
            "ymin": 4031000,
            "xmax": -13023000,
            "ymax": 4053000
        }
    },
    "version": "1.4"
}

When running the script tool, the JSON string can be copied and pasted into the Web_Map_as_JSON input parameter. However, the line breaks must be removed for the string to be valid input. A sample JSON string with line breaks removed is below:

{"layoutOptions": {"titleText": "Simple WebMap JSON example"},"operationalLayers": [{"url": "http://maps1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/USA_Federal_Lands/MapServer","visibility": true}],"exportOptions": {"outputSize": [1500,1500]},"mapOptions": {"extent": {"xmin": -13077000,"ymin": 4031000,"xmax": -13023000,"ymax": 4053000}},"version": "1.4"}

Tipp:

For publishing purposes, you can leave the Web_Map_as_JSON input parameter blank, as the ArcGIS Web APIs will provide the web map JSON in the web application. You can leave the Web_Map_as_JSON input parameter blank provided the Python script was written in such a way as to not fail with blank input. For example, the script doesn't look for web map layers by name. If the script fails on the server due to an error in the script, it will have to be fixed locally and republished to the server. Therefore, it is good practice to ensure the script works locally before publishing by testing with a valid web map JSON string or using a debug map document that contains all the elements that would be in the web map JSON.

Tipp:

As mentioned before, the JSON string returned from the ArcGIS Web APIs contains the full state of the web map. The layoutOptions object in the JSON string warrants extra discussion, as it will automatically update layout elements that can be staged in the template_mxd. For example, if the JSON has a titleText setting, and the template_mxd has a Title dynamic text element, the title in the template map document layout will be updated with the titleText value. For more information, see the layoutOptions section in ExportWebMap specification.

When you encapsulate the Python script that uses ConvertWebMapToMapDocument in a geoprocessing service, you need to make sure that ArcGIS Server can see the template map documents and data used in the web application. It is best practice to use a folder that is registered with ArcGIS Server. For more information on registering data, see the following:

• Making your data accessible to ArcGIS Server
• About registering your data with ArcGIS Server
• Registering your data with ArcGIS Server using ArcGIS Desktop

When authoring template map documents in the registered folder, it is best practice to use relative paths. That way, ArcGIS Server will be able to find the data in the registered folder relative to the location of the map documents. See Referencing data in the map for more information.

Vorsicht:

When using ConvertWebMapToMapDocument, relative paths to layers must be pointing to data at, below, or one level above the path of the template_mxd.

Vorsicht:

If you choose to not use registered folders, template map documents and data will be packaged and copied to the server. During packaging, data may be moved and re-sourced with relative paths to a folder structure that ConvertWebMapToMapDocument cannot resolve. For this reason, usage of registered folders is recommended.

In addition to creating your own template map documents, you can also use the preauthored templates that ship with the software. They are located at <installation_directory>\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates. These templates contain map elements such as a legend, current date dynamic text, a scale bar, and scale text.

By default, notes overlays or client-side graphics from the web application will be stored in an in-memory workspace. The in-memory workspace is temporary and will be deleted when the application is closed. To make a permanent copy of the output map document that contains notes overlays, specify a notes_gdb; then use the Consolidate Map or Package Map geoprocessing tools to make a copy of the output map document. The only time you would need to specify a notes_gdb is if you plan on making a permanent copy of the output map document. See code example 2 below. If the web map does not contain notes overlays, you can use the saveACopy method from the MapDocument class to make a permanent copy of the output map document.

The arcpy.mapping module also provides methods to control the appearance of the legend in the output map document's layout. See the removeItem method on the LegendElement class to remove legend items. The advanced tutorial listed below demonstrates this workflow. See the updateItem method on the LegendElement class and the ListStyleItems method to update legend items.

If your web app uses dynamic layers, the updateLayerFromJSON function from the Layer Class can be used to update the properties (for example, symbology) of staged vector layers in the template mxd with the layer definition of dynamic layers from the web map JSON. This is useful if your web app allows changing the symbology of dynamic layers and you want to replace the service layers with staged vector data but still maintain the updated symbology from the web app. See code example 6 below.

Be sure to read the following tutorials. They demonstrate the entire vector printing and exporting with ConvertWebMapToMapDocument workflow: authoring the staged template map documents, authoring the Python script, creating the geoprocessing service, and creating the web application.

Syntax

ConvertWebMapToMapDocument (webmap_json, {template_mxd}, {notes_gdb}, {extra_conversion_options})

Parameter	Erläuterung	Datentyp
webmap_json	The web map for printing in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). See the ExportWebMap JSON specification for more information. The ArcGIS Web APIs (JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight) allow developers to easily get this JSON string from the web application.	String
template_mxd	A string representing the path and file name to a map document (.mxd) to use as the template for the page layout. The contents of the web map will be inserted into the data frame that was active at the time the template_mxd was saved. Layers in the template_mxd file's active data frame (and all other data frames) will be preserved in the output mapDocument. (Der Standardwert ist None)	String
notes_gdb	A string representing the path to a new or existing file geodatabase or an existing enterprise geodatabase connection where graphic features should be written. This parameter should only be used if graphic features from the web map JSON need to be preserved permanently. In most cases, this parameter is not required, as a temporary in-memory workspace will be used to store graphic features. This parameter allows you to save graphic features to persistent storage, which is essential if you plan to use the map document for operations that require saving or loading from disk (for example, packaging or consolidating). The path must end with a .gdb or .sde extension. (Der Standardwert ist None)	String
extra_conversion_options	A dictionary of credentials for secured services. This parameter is required if the services in the web map JSON require a user name and password to view. Keys accepted in the dictionary are as follows: SERVER_CONNECTION_FILE WMS_CONNECTION_FILE WMTS_CONNECTION_FILE An example of key value pairs is as follows: credentials = {"SERVER_CONNECTION_FILE":r"Z:\ArcGIS2 on MyServer (user).ags", "WMS_CONNECTION_FILE":r"Z:\USA on MyServer.wms"} result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(json, extra_conversion_options=credentials) Lists of connection files can be used when there are multiple secured services: agsConnections = [r"Z:\ArcGIS on SecuredServerA (user).ags", r"Z:\ArcGIS on SecuredServerB (user).ags"] credentials = {"SERVER_CONNECTION_FILE":agsConnections, "WMS_CONNECTION_FILE":r"Z:\USA on MyServer.wms"} result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(json, extra_conversion_options=credentials) (Der Standardwert ist None)	Dictionary

Rückgabewert

Datentyp

Erläuterung

tuple

Returns a Python named Tuple of web map and request properties: mapDocument —The map document object created as output of the function. DPI —The requested DPI of the export from the web app. outputSizeHeight —The height of the image as specified from the web app. For use when performing a data view export. outputSizeWidth —The width of the image as specified from the web app. For use when performing a data view export. Vorsicht: ConvertWebMapToMapDocument will create temporary map documents (.mxd files) in the system temp folder. On Windows Vista and 7, this is located at C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp. It is the user's responsibility to manage the map documents in this folder. To delete these temporary map documents in scripts, see the clean up section in the code samples below.

ConvertWebMapToMapDocument example 3

In this example, a staged template map document is used that contains vector equivalents of all the possible service layers. After executing the ConvertWebMapToMapDocument function, the script loops through all the layers in the output map document, removing all layers except the vector layers that correspond to the service layers in the web map JSON. The output map document layout is then exported to either PDF or PNG.

ConvertWebMapToMapDocument example 6

In this example, the updateLayerFromJSON function from the Layer Class is used to update the properties (for example, symbology) of a staged vector layer in the template mxd with the layer definition of a dynamic layer from the web map JSON. This is useful if your web app allows changing the symbology of dynamic layers and you want to replace the service layers with staged vector data but still maintain the updated symbology from the web app.
