This script example demonstrates how to save point x and y coordinates along with another point attribute to a text file. The text file has xyz format, where each row includes x, y, and z data of a point. The z value could be any attribute value of a point. This example may be used as a reference on how to export model data to external text files.
Example
# export point data to text file of xyz format def export_xyz_file(junctions, z_field, out_xyz_file): with open(out_xyz_file, 'wt') as f: for junc in junctions: x, y = junc['X'], junc['Y'] # obtain the X and Y fields z = junc[z_field] # obtain the Z field row = '{0},{1},{2}'.format(x, y, z) f.write('{0}\n'.format(row)) file = r'D:\Test\test.xyz' # new text file to be saved. If already exists, the file will be overwritten junctions = pcpy.Map.Layer['Junctions'].get_entities() # get all junction entities export_xyz_file(junctions, 'InvertElev', file) # export points to the file print 'done'
