Summary
Places a representation control point at vertices along a line or polygon outline where the angle created by a change in line direction is less than or equal to a specified maximum angle.
Illustration
Usage
Input features must be a line or polygon layer symbolized with a representation.
The modification to vertices is stored as a geometry override on the feature representation.
Syntax
SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle(in_features, maximum_angle)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_features | The input feature layer containing line or polygon representations. | Layer |
maximum_angle | The angle used to determine whether or not a vertex along a line or polygon outline will be set as a representation control point. The angle value must be greater than zero and less than 180 decimal degrees. | Double |

SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle tool Example (Python Window)
The following Python window script demonstrates how to use the SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle tool in immediate mode.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:\data"
arcpy.SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle_cartography("trails.lyr", "135")
SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle tool Example (stand-alone Python script)
This stand-alone script shows an example of using the SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle tool.
# Name: SetRepresentationControlPointByAngle_standalone_script.py
# Description: adds representation control points at locations where a feature has a sharp angle in its geometry
# Author: ESRI
# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "C:/data"
# Set local variables
in_representations = "trails.lyr"
minimum_angle_deviation = "135"
# Execute Set Representation Control Point At Intersect
arcpy.SetRepresentationControlPointAtIntersect_cartography(in_representations, minimum_angle_deviation)
Environments
This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
