The notebook editor provides an interface that allows you to browse feature and raster analysis tools and insert their corresponding Python code into your notebook.
Adding a tool to your notebook inserts the ArcGIS API for Python syntax for that tool into a new cell.
Access and use analysis tools
To access and use analysis tools in a notebook, follow these steps:
- Follow the steps to open a notebook.
- Click Analysis in the top ribbon of the notebook editor.
- Click a category to expand it or use the search box to search by name or keyword.
- Click Add for the tool you want to use.
A new cell that contains the Python code for the tool will be inserted into your notebook.
Feature analysis tools
Feature analysis tools can be used to perform common analytical functions such as finding hot spots, locating streets and addresses, finding a place, routing, or accessing a geodatabase. By performing analysis, you can answer questions and make decisions using more than visual analysis.
Raster analysis tools
The raster analysis tools, enabled by ArcGIS Image Server, are used to analyze and process imagery and raster datasets, such as multispectral satellite and aerial imagery, elevation, and scientific and classified datasets. The tools can analyze imagery based on algorithms, analyze spatial patterns, analyze terrain to derive surfaces, summarize data, and manage data. You can create and run spatial analysis models and image processing chains while using distributed processing and storage. These tools manage and perform scalable raster analysis and image processing on large volumes of raster data from multiple sources.
