How to convert ArcGIS text to WKT format?
I would like to be able to convert a single feature (or potentially many features) in an ArcGIS layer into Well Known Text (WKT) format during a geoprocessing operation using Python and ArcPy (no non-ArcPy modules). The purpose is to then pass the WKT on to SQL Server Spatial and do additional processing outside of the ArcGIS GP toolset.
Is there a WKT method for pygeoif?
Pyshp does not have a WKT method but it does support the geo_interface protocol at the shape level. That protocol returns each shape as geojson. You can then use the lightweight, pure-python pygeoif module to convert to WKT. The pygeoif module is available on the Python Package Index and Github:
How to convert GeoJSON to WKT in Python?
That protocol returns each shape as geojson. You can then use the lightweight, pure-python pygeoif module to convert to WKT. The pygeoif module is available on the Python Package Index and Github: The following example converts a point shapefile to MultiPoint WKT.
How to get WKT from a geometry variable?
The geometry variable “g” contains the individual points as WKT. You could also use pyshp’s shapeRecords () method combined with pygeoif’s feature () method to collect the attributes in addition to the geometry and convert to a FeatureCollection. The examples on github for both libraries demonstrate these methods individually.
Is there a WKT token for OGC geometry?
SHAPE@WKT —The well-known text (WKT) representation for OGC geometry. It provides a portable representation of a geometry value as a text string Note: SHAPE@JSON, SHAPE@WKB, and SHAPE@WKT tokens were made available at ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1.
Are there any WKT tokens in ArcGIS 10.1?
Note: SHAPE@JSON, SHAPE@WKB, and SHAPE@WKT tokens were made available at ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1. Or, if you’re after the samples toolbox like you mentioned – its there, just deprecated. You can call into it with scripts still.
