# arcgis.geometry.functions module¶

Functions which take geometric types as parameters and return geometric type results.

## areas_and_lengths¶

arcgis.geometry.functions.areas_and_lengths(polygons, length_unit, area_unit, calculation_type, spatial_ref=4326, gis=None, future=False)

The areas_and_lengths function calculates areas and perimeter lengths for each polygon specified in the input array.

Inputs:
polygons - The array of polygons whose areas and lengths are

to be computed.

length_unit - The length unit in which the perimeters of

polygons will be calculated. If calculation_type is planar, then length_unit can be any esriUnits constant. If lengthUnit is not specified, the units are derived from spatial_ref. If calculationType is not planar, then lengthUnit must be a linear esriUnits constant, such as esriSRUnit_Meter or esriSRUnit_SurveyMile. If length_unit is not specified, the units are meters. For a list of valid units, see esriSRUnitType Constants and esriSRUnit2Type Constant.

area_unit - The area unit in which areas of polygons will be

calculated. If calculation_type is planar, then area_unit can be any esriUnits constant. If area_unit is not specified, the units are derived from spatial_ref. If calculation_type is not planar, then area_unit must be a linear esriUnits constant such as esriSRUnit_Meter or esriSRUnit_SurveyMile. If area_unit is not specified, then the units are meters. For a list of valid units, see esriSRUnitType Constants and esriSRUnit2Type constant. The list of valid esriAreaUnits constants include, esriSquareInches | esriSquareFeet | esriSquareYards | esriAcres | esriSquareMiles | esriSquareMillimeters | esriSquareCentimeters | esriSquareDecimeters | esriSquareMeters | esriAres | esriHectares | esriSquareKilometers.

calculation_type - The type defined for the area and length

calculation of the input geometries. The type can be one of the following values: planar - Planar measurements use 2D

Euclidean distance to calculate area and length. Th- should only be used if the area or length needs to be calculated in the given spatial reference. Otherwise, use preserveShape.

geodesic - Use this type if you want to

calculate an area or length using only the vertices of the polygon and define the lines between the points as geodesic segments independent of the actual shape of the polygon. A geodesic segment is the shortest path between two points on an ellipsoid.

preserveShape - This type calculates the

area or length of the geometry on the surface of the Earth ellipsoid. The shape of the geometry in its coordinate system is preserved.

future - boolean. This operation determines if the job is run asynchronously or not.

Output:

JSON as dictionary

This function returns a list of applicable geographic transformations you should use when projecting geometries from the input spatial reference to the output spatial reference. The transformations are in JSON format and are returned in order of most applicable to least applicable. Recall that a geographic transformation is not needed when the input and output spatial references have the same underlying geographic coordinate systems. In this case, findTransformations returns an empty list. Every returned geographic transformation is a forward transformation meaning that it can be used as-is to project from the input spatial reference to the output spatial reference.

The offset function is performed on a geometry service resource. This function constructs geometries that are offset from the given input geometries. If the offset parameter is positive, the constructed offset will be on the right side of the geometry. Left side offsets are constructed with negative parameters. Tracing the geometry from its first vertex to the last will give you a direction along the geometry. It is to the right and left perspective of this direction that the positive and negative parameters will dictate where the offset is constructed. In these terms, it is simple to infer where the offset of even horizontal geometries will be constructed.

Inputs:

geometries - The array of geometries to be offset. offset_distance - Specifies the distance for constructing an offset

based on the input geometries. If the offset_distance parameter is positive, the constructed offset will be on the right side of the curve. Left-side offsets are constructed with negative values.

offset_unit - A unit for offset distance. If a unit is not

specified, the units are derived from spatial_ref.

offset_how - The offset_how parameter determines how outer corners
between segments are handled. The three options are as follows:
esriGeometryOffsetRounded - Rounds the corner between extended

offsets.

esriGeometryOffsetBevelled - Squares off the corner after a

given ratio distance.

esriGeometryOffsetMitered - Attempts to allow extended offsets

to naturally intersect, but if that intersection occurs too far from the corner, the corner is eventually bevelled off at a fixed distance.

bevel_ratio - bevel_ratio is multiplied by the offset distance, and

the result determines how far a mitered offset intersection can be located before it is bevelled. When mitered is specified, bevel_ratio is ignored and 10 is used internally. When bevelled is specified, 1.1 will be used if bevel_ratio is not specified. bevel_ratio is ignored for rounded offset.

simplify_result - if simplify_result is set to true, then self

intersecting loops will be removed from the result offset geometries. The default is false.

transformation - The WKID or a JSON object specifying the

geographic transformation (gis,also known as datum transformation) to be applied to the projected geometries. Note that a transformation is needed only if the output spatial reference contains a different geographic coordinate system than the input spatial reference.

transform_forward - A Boolean value indicating whether or not to

transform forward. The forward or reverse direction of transformation is implied in the name of the transformation. If transformation is specified, a value for the transformForward parameter must also be specified. The default value is false.

future - boolean. This operation determines if the job is run asynchronously or not.

Example:

input_geom = [{“x”: -17568824.55, “y”: 2428377.35}, {“x”: -17568456.88, “y”: 2428431.352}] result = project(geometries = input_geom, in_sr = 3857, out_sr = 4326)
