Getting Started with ArcGIS and QGIS Python Scripting API - ArcPy and PyQGIS


On this blog, I intend to document some common GIS operation via the Python Scripting API for both ArcGIS (ArcPy) and QGIS (PyQGIS).

Lets begin....


1) The documentation

When you decided to work with a new API, then its documentation should always be your first place to learn more about the API's capabilities. Here below is where you will find the respective docs as at the time of writing.

The ArcGIS (ArcPy) is available at: http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/documentation/
Note that there are two versions of the ArcGIS desktop software: ArcMap (Including ArcCatalog, ArcScene, & ArcGlobe) and ArcGIS Pro. The focus of this blog is on: ArcMap.




 The QGIS (PyQGIS) is available at: QGIS Python API documentation project



You can compliment this docs with good books written by different authors:-

ArcPy related Books:
~ ArcPy and ArcGIS – Geospatial Analysis with Python by Silas Toms
~ Python Scripting for ArcGIS by Paul A. Zandbergen
~ Python For ArcGIS by Laura Tateosian
~ Python Scripting for ArcGIS by Paul A. Zandbergen


PyQGIS related Books:
~ PyQGIS developer cookbook by QGIS Project Team
~ The PyQGIS Programmer's Guide: Extending QGIS 3 with Python 3 by Gary Sherman
~ The Pyqgis Programmer's Guide by Gary Sherman
~ Mastering Geospatial Development with QGIS 3.x: An in-depth guide to becoming proficient in spatial data analysis using QGIS 3.4 and 3.6 with Python by Shammunul Islam, Simon Miles, et al.
~ QGIS Python Programming Cookbook by Joel Lawhead
~ Building Mapping Applications with QGIS by by Erik Westra


2) Launch and customize python window/console

In ArcGIS it is located under 'Geoprocessing' menu while in QGIS, it is under the 'Plugin' menu. Access the respective menus and launch the python window/console. you could also launch the window/console from the related icon on the tools bar.





To customize the ArcGIS python window, right click on the environment and select what you want to customize.



To customize the QGIS python console, click on the 'options' button as seen below. Then select the settings you want to customize accordingly.



3) The built-in documentation

Lets try to see the list of valid methods and attributes for the APIs. The primary object in the ArcGIS API is 'arcpy' so lets call the dir() method on it like this: dir(arcpy)

For QGIS it is called 'iface', so we do dir(iface).

4) Get details from document/project file

ArcGIS document/project file is save with the extension .mxd, while QGIS extension is .qgz or .qgs. And the can be manipulated via their respective APIs as seen below:-

ArcGIS: 
# Create project instance...
prjt = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')

# project file path and name..
prjt.filePath

# project title
prjt.title

# project date saved
prjt.dateSaved

# project author
prjt.author

# project layer count
arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(prjt)

# project coordinate reference system
prjt.activeDataFrame.mapUnits

# set project working space/folder
arcpy.env.workspace

# list shp in working space/folder
arcpy.ListFeatureClasses('*.shp')

QGIS:
# Create project instance...
prjt = QgsProject.instance()

# project name..
prjt.fileName() 

# project folder
prjt.homePath()

# project layer count
prjt.count()

# project coordinate reference system
prjt.crs()
prjt.crs().geographicCrsAuthId()
prjt.crs().authid()

# project bounds
prjt.crs().bounds().asWktCoordinates()


5) Load vector layer onto the layer panel (table of contents)

ArcGIS: 
# Get the map document...
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

# Get active dataframe from the map document...
df = mxd.activeDataFrame

# Read and Add shp layer to the dataframe...
shp = r'C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Documents\...\Abia_state.shp'
newlayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(shp)

arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, newlayer, "BOTTOM")

print('Done...')


QGIS:
# Read the shapefile...
shp = r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Documents\...\Abia_state.shp"
layer = QgsVectorLayer(shp, 'DisplayName', 'ogr')
 
# Add the layer to Layer Panel...
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)


6) Load raster layer onto the layer panel (table of contents)

ArcGIS: 
# Get the map document...
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

# Get active dataframe from the map document...
df = mxd.activeDataFrame

# Read and Add raster layer to the dataframe...
raster_file = r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Desktop\Working_Files\Fiverr\2021\012-December\SGI Exhibition\Maps\Maps\FPN_DEM.tif"
newlayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(raster_file)

arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, newlayer, "BOTTOM") # Or: arcpy.MakeRasterLayer_management(raster_file, "FPNB")

print('Done...')



QGIS:
# Read the raster file
raster_file = r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Desktop\Working_Files\Fiverr\2021\012-December\SGI Exhibition\Maps\Maps\FPN_DEM.tif"
layer = QgsRasterLayer(raster_file, 'DisplayName')
 
# Add the layer to the map (comment the following line if the loading in the Layers Panel is not needed)
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)



7) Load table onto the layer panel (table of contents)

ArcGIS: 
# Get the map document...
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

# Get active dataframe from the map document...
df = mxd.activeDataFrame

# Read and Add CSV file to the dataframe...
csv_table = r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Documents\...\jcode.csv"

newlayer = arcpy.MakeTableView_management(in_table=csv_table, out_view='DisplayName')
arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, newlayer, "BOTTOM")

print('Done...')



QGIS:
# Read the CSV file...
csv_table = r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Documents\...\jcode.csv"

layer = QgsVectorLayer(csv_table, 'DisplayName', 'ogr')
 
# Add the layer to Layer Panel...
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)



8) Determine the type of a shapefile

In this section we will write script to determine if a shapefile is a point. line or polygon type.

ArcGIS: 
# Get list of feature classes (shapefiles)...
fc_list = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

# Loop and print out the shape type from describe class
for f in fc_list:
    print(arcpy.Describe(f).shapeType)



QGIS:
layers_on_panel = QgsProject.instance().mapLayers()

for k, v in layers_on_panel.items():
    # Read the map layer...
    map_file = layers_on_panel[k]
    layer_name = map_file.name()
    layer = QgsVectorLayer(map_file.source(), layer_name, "ogr")
    
    layer_type = layer.geometryType()
    print(layer_name, layer_type)

The code above returns a number that corresponds to the list below that represent value of a shape type. On page 4 of the document "ESRI Shapefile Technical Description"


0 >> Null Shape
1 >> Point
3 >> PolyLine
5 >> Polygon
8 >> MultiPoint
11 >> PointZ
13 >> PolyLineZ
15 >> PolygonZ
18 >> MultiPointZ
21 >> PointM
23 >> PolyLineM
25 >> PolygonM
28 >> MultiPointM
31 >> MultiPatch



9) Save map canvas to image file

ArcGIS: 
# Define the current MapDocument obj...
prjt = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current')

# Export to png image...
arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG(prjt, r"C:\Users\Yusuf_08039508010\Documents\...\Project.png")



QGIS:
# Save map canvas as image, a quick export of the current map canvas
iface.mapCanvas().resize(QSize(1280, 720)) # set canvas size
iface.mapCanvas().saveAsImage('Test123.png', None, 'PNG') # save img


10) Zoom map to layer extent

ArcGIS: 
# Zoom map canvas (dataframe) to layer extent
# Get current MXD project...
prjt = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('current') # using current map, can also use a path to a mxd here

# Get active or a dataframe...
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(prjt)[0]

# Get one layer from dataframe above
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(prjt, '*', df)[0]

# Get the layer extent..
ext = lyr.getExtent()

# Set dataframe extent to the layer extent...
df.extent = ext



QGIS:
# Get the map canvas
canvas = iface.mapCanvas() # Or: canvas = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas()

# Define layer (active layer in this case)
vLayer = iface.activeLayer()

# Get the layer extent
e = vLayer.extent()

# Zoom the canvas to the layer extent...
canvas.zoomToFeatureExtent(e)

We can go on and on doing lots of useful stuff with these APIs. From the next section, lets take a look at geoprocessing task in the APIs. First we will start by list all the geoprocessing command available within the API.


11) List all geoprocessing command

ArcGIS: 
# Lists the geoprocessing toolboxes
arcpy.ListToolboxes('*')

[u'3D Analyst Tools(3d)', u'Analysis Tools(analysis)', u'Cartography Tools(cartography)', u'Conversion Tools(conversion)', u'Data Interoperability Tools(interop)', u'Data Management Tools(management)', u'Editing Tools(edit)', u'Geocoding Tools(geocoding)', u'Geostatistical Analyst Tools(ga)', u'Linear Referencing Tools(lr)', u'Multidimension Tools(md)', u'Network Analyst Tools(na)', u'Parcel Fabric Tools(fabric)', u'Samples(samples)', u'Schematics Tools(schematics)', u'Server Tools(server)', u'Spatial Analyst Tools(sa)', u'Spatial Statistics Tools(stats)', u'Tracking Analyst Tools(ta)', u'Space Time Pattern Mining Tools(stpm)']

Using the ListTools() method, we can get all the names of the arctool box commands as seen below; My version of ArcGIS 10.5 has about 902 commands.
# List of all ArcPy toolbox commands...
toolbox_list = arcpy.ListTools()
print(toolbox_list)

We can get the names and other details (such as func_name, func_doc, func_defaults, func_globals, func_dict) of those commands and possible save to CSV table for firendly useage.
for tool in toolbox_list:
	print ( eval("arcpy.{0}.func_name".format(tool)) )
	print ( eval("arcpy.{0}.func_doc".format(tool)) )
	print ( eval("arcpy.{0}.func_defaults".format(tool)) )
	print ( eval("arcpy.{0}.func_globals".format(tool)) )
	print ( eval("arcpy.{0}.func_dict".format(tool)) )
        # Note that 'eval' function here is used the evalute the python expression which comes in the dynamic string
	print('-'*10)



QGIS:
# List all geoprocessing command, as at June 2022 there are 990 commands on my machine
geopro_commands = QgsApplication.processingRegistry().algorithms()

# Print out the provider, name and display name
for alg in geopro_commands:
    print("{}:{} --> {}".format(alg.provider().name(), alg.name(), alg.displayName()))


# Lets create a table that contains organized details of all the processing algorithms
provider_list = [ alg.provider().name() for alg in geopro_commands ]
name_list = [ alg.name() for alg in geopro_commands ]
displayName_list = [ alg.displayName() for alg in geopro_commands ]
group_list = [ alg.group() for alg in geopro_commands ]
helpurl_list = [ alg.helpUrl() for alg in geopro_commands ]
# See more at: https://qgis.org/pyqgis/3.0/core/Processing/QgsProcessingAlgorithm.html

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(provider_list, columns=['Provider'])

df['Name'] = name_list
df['Display Name'] = displayName_list
df['Group'] = group_list
df['Help URL'] = helpurl_list

# Save to CSV file
df.to_csv('Processing_Algorithms.csv', index=False)



Other useful attributes of each of the processing algorithm command you may care to know are the help string and the expect parameters as seen below:-
helpstr_list = [ alg.shortHelpString() for alg in geopro_commands ]
parameter_count_list = [ len(alg.parameterDefinitions()) for alg in geopro_commands ]
parameter_name_list = [ [ n.name() for n in alg.parameterDefinitions() ] for alg in geopro_commands ]

Now that we have seen list of geoprocessing commands available on both API, let do some geoprocessing task.
