Summary
Modifies the geometry for the footprints, boundary, or seamlines in a mosaic dataset to match those in a feature class.
Illustration
Usage
This tool matches the feature in the mosaic dataset with the feature in the feature class based on a common attribute field.
The footprint is not always used to clip the image in the mosaic dataset. You can change the Always Clip The Image To Its Footprint property to Yes in the Mosaic Dataset Properties dialog box on the Defaults tab.
This tool will not recalculate the extent of the mosaic dataset. To recalculate the extent, you will need to recalculate the feature extent within the Mosaic Dataset Properties window.
Syntax
ImportMosaicDatasetGeometry_management (in_mosaic_dataset, target_featureclass_type, target_join_field, input_featureclass, input_join_field)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_mosaic_dataset | The mosaic dataset whose geometries you want to edit | Mosaic Layer |
target_featureclass_type | The geometry that you want to change.
| String |
target_join_field | The field in the mosaic dataset to use as a basis for the join. | Field |
input_featureclass | The feature class with the new geometry. | Feature Layer; Raster Catalog Layer |
input_join_field | The field in the input feature class to use as a basis for the join. | Field |
