Quick Overview of the ArcGIS API for Python

  • A Pythonic GIS API
    • Corresponds to best practices
    • Uses standard Python constructs
    • Data structures with clean,                              readable idioms
  • Easy for a Python programmer to use ArcGIS
  • Easy for an ArcGIS user to script and              automate their GIS

Why Python?

  • Popularity
  • Productivity
  • Interoperability
  • Solves the “two-language” problem
  • Scientific Python ecosystem
  • Community

ArcGIS Runtime Overview

Architecture

  • ArcGIS Runtime APIs – public APIs for multiple platforms
    • Same capabilities across all APIs
    • API surface is tailored to the relevant dev stack

ArcGIS Runtime Overview

  • Esri’s developer product for native app development
    • Incorporate ArcGIS functionality into mobile and desktop applications
    • Web service client and local (offline) capabilities
    • SDKs for .NET (including Xamarin), Android, iOS, Java, Qt, and macOS

         

 

ArcGIS Runtime Overview

  • High-performance 2D and 3D mapping
  • Integration with Portal, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Server
    • Load, edit, and save web maps
    • Use map, image, and feature services
    • Geoprocessing for complex custom analyses
  • Work offline with local data and functionality
    • Read local data (.mmpk, .tpk, etc)
    • Geocode and Routing
    • Geometric operations (buffer, etc)
    • Take web maps offline
    • Feature service editing and sync

         

 

Offline vs Online

Performance vs Availability

  • Offline Data and Services
    • Sideload data/geocoders/network models for highly interactive performance
    • No round-trip to a server
    • Consider hybrid online + offline if appropriate
  • Consider Network Availability & Data Qualities:
    • Do you need to edit? If not, perhaps side-loading is an option.
    • Will many people get the same data? Maybe generate once, sideload often.
    • Lots of data changing often? Try to sync when on WiFi.
    • How fast is the network in the field?
    • How consistent is the network in the field? Patchy?

Perfomance

Work on the device

  • GeometryEngine
    • Manipulate geometry on the device
    • Buffer, Union, Difference etc.
    • Projection
  • Offline Data
    • Data on the device for highly interactive performance
    • No round-trip to a server
  • Graphics Overlays
    • Dynamic Mode (smaller number of moving graphics – good interactive performance)
    • Static Mode (large number of graphics – less interactive performance)
