In the many methods present at the Python interface to ArcGIS (Python geoprocessing through the arcgisscripting module), one that is quite useful when processing individual elements on a feature class is called MakeFeaturelayer(). The behavior, while predictable with a small number of runs, can prove problematic when dealing with large datasets. Continue reading »

In that context, analyzing the 2002 Input Output Model for Washington State, I decided that Graph Theory needs to come into play (Economic Geograhy seems to need more Python(s) around).

Accessing Geometries using the Geoprocessor is an easy task when one uses Python. All you need is a cursor to a feature class and you are there. Some terminology may help, before we dive into the code. Continue reading »
