Chapter 6. Creating Custom Geoprocessing Tools
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Creating a custom geoprocessing tool
- Creating a Python toolbox
Introduction
In addition to accessing the system tools provided by ArcGIS, you can also create your own custom tools. These tools work in the same way as system tools and can be used in ModelBuilder, a Python window, or standalone Python scripts. Many organizations build their own library of tools that perform geoprocessing operations specific to their data.
