Research on the development and packaging methods of ArcGIS tools based on Python and ArcPy
This paper addresses the current dependency of ArcGIS script tool development on the ArcGIS desktop environment and explores an ArcGIS tool development and packaging method based on the Python language and ArcPy library.This method utilizes Python's built-in Tkinter library to construct the tool interface and achieves tool functionality by invoking libraries such as ArcPy.Finally,the tool is packaged into an independent executable program using the Py2exe library.The article takes a tool that batch separates features according to attributes as an example to elaborate on the overall development idea,key technologies,and implementation steps,realizing the requirement of using ArcGIS tools independently without the need to load them in ArcGIS.
