The functions
module is used to take Geometry
objects
as parameter arguments and return Geometry
objects as results.
These functions use spatial references as inputs and outputs. They can be entered as
SpatialReference
objects or as integer values representing the
well-known ID of each reference.
>>> from arcgis.geometry input SpatialReference
>>> sr = SpatialReference(iterable={"wkid": 3857})
>>> function_res = function_name(...
spatial_ref = sr,
...)
or
>>> sr = 3857
>>> function_res = function(...
in_sr = sr,
...)
For further details and explanation of concepts, see Using Spatial References. Also see the Working with Geometries Introduction guide in the Editing section of the API for Python documentation.
For a complete list of well-known ID values, see Coordinate System PDF

LengthUnits
Functions
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.Keys
Description
polygons
The list of
Polygon
objects 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 this argument can be any esriUnits constant string or integer.
If calculationType is not planar, then length_unit must be a linear
LengthUnits
constant or string. For example:For meters, use 9001 or LengthUnits.METER
For survey miles, use 9035 or LengthUnits.SURVEYMILE
If length_unit is not specified, the units are derived from spatial_ref. If spatial_ref is not specified as well, the units are in meters.
area_unit
The area unit in which areas of polygons will be calculated.
If calculation_type is planar, then area_unit can be any esriAreaUnits constant.
If calculation_type is not planar, then area_unit must be an
AreaUnits
dictionary. For example,for square meters use - {“areaUnit”: “esriSquareMeters”}
for square miles use - {“areaUnit”: “esriSquareMiles”}
If area_unit is not specified, the units are derived from the spatial_ref. If spatial_ref is not specified, then the units are in square meters.
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. This should only be used if the area or length needs to be calculated in the given
SpatialReference
. 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 thePolygon
. 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.

options.offset_how
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
Value is multiplied by the offset_distance, and determines how far a mitered offset intersection can be located before it is bevelled.
when offset_how = esriGeometryOffsetMitered, argument is ignored and 10 is used internally.
when offset_how = esriGeometryOffsetBevelled, 1.1 will be used if argument not specified
when offset_how = esriGeometryOffsetRounded, argument is ignored
simplify_result
Option boolean. If True, true, then self intersecting loops will be removed. The default is False.
spatial_ref
A
SpatialReference
object of the well-known ID of the spatial reference of the of the input geometries.future
Optional boolean.
If True, a
GeometryJob
object will be returned and the process returns control to the user.If False, the process waits for the operation to complete before returning results and passing control back to the user.
Note
If future=True, there is a limitation of 6500 geometries that can be processed in one call.
- Returns:
If future = False, a list of
Geometry
objects, or if future = True, aGeometryJob
object.

- By default, an extension considers both ends of a path. The old ends remain, and new points are added to the extended ends. The new points have attributes that are extrapolated from adjacent existing segments.1
- If an extension is performed at an end, relocate the end point to the new position instead of leaving the old point and adding a new point at the new position.2
- If an extension is performed at an end, do not extrapolate the end-segment’s attributes for the new point. Instead, make
its attributes the same as the current end. Incompatible with esriNoAttributes. *
4
- If an extension is performed at an end, do not extrapolatethe end-segment’s attributes for the new point. Instead, make its attributes empty. Incompatible with esriKeepAttributes.
