I was trying to create the contour line from the PhytonGUI but failed to create it. It keep on showing me the error – 000824. Below code generates 25 m interval contour using spatial analyst but only inside ArcGis command window. It did not work outside Arcgis because I was missing important code to add. Python is a high level programming l<\/span>anguage\u00a0that you can use to automate the work in the Arcgis. Here is the free course<\/a>\u00a0on the python.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

import arcpy<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

demPath = “C:\/GIS Master Program\/2nd Semester\/GIS 570\/Lesson 1\/folder\/foxlake”<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

contourPath = “C:\/GIS Master Program\/2nd Semester\/GIS 570\/Lesson 1\/homework\/task1\/practice\/contour4.shp”<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

arcpy.gp.Contour_sa(demPath,contourPath,”25″,”0″,”1″)<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I got the below message,<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Traceback (most recent call last):<\/em>
\nFile “C:\/GIS Master Program\/2nd Semester\/GIS 570\/Lesson 1\/homework\/test”, line 4, in <module><\/em>
\narcpy.gp.Contour_sa(demPath,contourPath,”25″,”0″,”1″)<\/em>
\nFile “C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.2\\arcpy\\arcpy\\geoprocessing\\_base.py”, line 498, in <lambda><\/em>
\nreturn lambda *args: val(*gp_fixargs(args, True))<\/em>
\nExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.<\/em>
\nERROR 000824: The tool is not licensed.<\/em><\/strong>
\nFailed to execute (Contour).<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So it was the Error 000824
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

After doing so much Google search finally found the answer that we have turn on extension within the code. So to turn on spatial Analyst code will be
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

gp.CheckOutExtension(“Spatial”)
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally code that did run is.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

# The following code will create 25 metres contour from Foxlake Dem
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

import arcpy, arcinfo
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

arcpy.CheckOutExtension(“spatial”)
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

demPath = “C:\/GIS Master Program\/2nd Semester\/GIS 570\/Lesson 1\/folder\/foxlake”
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
