2008-04-01 - Advanced Geoprocessing, Python

This document provides an overview of a lecture on advanced geoprocessing and Python using ArcObjects. It discusses adding layers to a map and setting layer symbology programmatically using ArcObjects in Python. Sample code is provided to demonstrate adding a shapefile and feature class from a personal geodatabase to a map. The code also shows how to set the layer symbology by creating a renderer, symbol, and color and associating them with the feature layer. Reminders are given about upcoming lab and presentation deadlines.
