Before I begin coding, I would like to know if this is possible using arcpy and python.
I am trying to grab data from a text file and use that data to both populate my attribute table as well as create a polygon with the coordinates the text file provides. An example of the data is like so:
1867-Jan-01 Field value Field Value Field Value Field Value Field Value
52N 62W
42N 52W
32N 42W
22N 32W
12N 22W
11N 12W
10N 13W
The first line would be the attributes and all the coordinates underneath would become the polygon file. Using ArcMap 10.1, is this possible with arcpy and Python, and what direction should I go to accomplish this?
Thank you
Yes, this is possible.
Steps:
There is ESRI and/or Python documentation available online for each of these steps. Please take a stab at writing the code and post the code along with the error you are getting if you run into problems.
