To create the layer file I opened the layer properties dialog to the symbology tab for the shapefile. In other words, the geography is right but none of the correct colors are used at all. It used the first color ramp available in the pulldown in the symbology tab of layer properties. It changed the symbology to match Map00002 polygons, but it did not use the.
if featureclass.symbologyType = "UNIQUE_VALUES": I symbolized on field 'Map00001' using the. I looked into your suggestions and tried using Unique Values Symbology.
Any additional information about the type of symbology you are using, example of the output of your script, and how your layer file is set-up would be useful if that doesn't work.Īlso if it does work, please make sure to Refresh the active view prior to each export.Įdit: Similar threads relevant to question I've never tried this or tested it, but I think it would work for you.

See example 1 about how to access and change the symbology field. Once the symbology has been applied from the layer file(you should only need to do this once), you can switch which field is used for the symbology, but since you are using the same 1-13 values for each field, it may carry the symbology over when you set the new field for symbolizing. "Ī possible solution for you to look into is to use the Unique Values Symbology Class with your feature class layer(Assuming you are using unique values). "Depending on the renderer (for example, unique value using a particular attribute), the attribute definitions also need to be the same. If this field is missing, the output data is drawn with default symbology."Īctually I see you used updateLayer, but see this line "The field in the Input Layer that will be displayed must have the same name as that of the corresponding Symbology Layer field. You quite literally would need a layer file for each field to do things as you are currently proposing. I'm not sure how a single layer file could possibly take care of what you are needing it to do, since you would only be able to select a single field, not iterate over them. (mxd, r"\\path\outputPDF\Map_" + f)Ī layer file usually has the symbology based on either the feature itself or a specific field. TextElement = (mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT", "MapTitleText") symbologyLyr = (r"\\path\Maps\SymbologyShp.lyr") I need to display one field at a time, with each polygon (row) in the field shaded a specific color, depending on it's value, 1-13. I don't think it should matter, but the shapefile I'm symbolizing has 2692 rows. The polygons aren't given symbology according to the. The problem is every map is the same, except for the title.

What I have will change the map title & print the pdf with the title. lyr file, change the map title to match the field name, print a pdf of the layout, & move to the next field to do it again. That is, I want to loop through each field (00000, 00001, 00002.), symbolize the categories (1-13) as set up in a. As a python noob, I'm attempting to create pdfs of layouts in which polygon features are symbolized with the same colors for classes, but the assignments change in each of 1,000 fields in the feature class.
