Summary

In this chapter, we covered the basics of using common ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced extensions within ArcPy, with a focus on the Network Analyst access and Spatial Analyst access modules. We explored how to generate a network, and how to create network paths using ArcPy. We also explored how to access Spatial Analyst tools, and to use them in conjunction with Search Cursors to work with rasters and vectors for spatial analysis.

In the next chapter, we will transition to web mapping using ArcGIS Online, and explore how to use Python to automate the process.
