The course is aimed at acquiring knowledge creation scripts for processing data in ArcGIS. The basic is practical using of visual programming in ModelBuilder. Students will learn Python scripting for processing spatial data. Finally, students integrate scripts into ArcToolbox environment. Will be dealt with scripts for automation of repetitive tasks and the creation of complex scripts for data analysis. 1. VPL - Visual Programming Languages 2. ModelBuilder - models with iterators, parametric models 3. ModelBuilder - if construction, export models to Python scripts 4. IDLE for ArcGIS scripts 5. Python scripts for ArcGIS using ArcPy module 6. Access tools and environment settings 7. Geoprocesoru static methods and call 8. Descriptive and Enumeration methods 9. Cursor method, working with attributes and geometry 10. Stepping script debugging and error 11. Parametrical scripts 12. Running scripts from ArcToolbox, input parameters, creation of help
