Working with Geometries (GIS4102- GIS Programming)

This module dealt with working with geometry objects, such as reading and even writing them. The goal was to write a script that would search through a shapefile and open and write to a text document with the search criteria. The results of which can be seen in the image provided.

The pseudo-code for this assignment is as follows:

Start

import necessary modules

set environment

overwrite output

fc = rivers.shp

out_text = rivers_wheiden.txt

searchcursor = [IOD@, SHAPE@, NAME]

for (OID@, SHAPE@, and NAME) for each row

vertex ID = 0

for each point in row, get part function

vertex ID += 1

write to out_text ( OID + vertexID + X coordinate + Y coordinate + River's NAME)

close out_txt

delete cursor

delete row

End
