AIXFormat

Zusammenfassung

The AIXFormat object represents a collection of Adobe Illustrator Exchange (AIX) file properties that can be configured and used with the export method on the Layout, MapFrame, and MapView objects to create an output AIX file.

Diskussion

AIX files are used with the ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud extension. With the extension, vector and raster map content is converted into editable, layered artwork for an improved editing experience in Adobe Illustrator . Once opened in Illustrator , the file can be used for high-end graphic design or map finishing workflows and migrated across the other Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

The CreateExportFormat method can be used to create a AIXFormat object if the format parameter is set to AIX. The returned AIXFormat object contains all the properties associated with generating an AIX file. These properties can be modified accordingly to produce different output results.

Hinweis:

For more information about the AIXFormat, refer to the Export to AIX help topic.

Eigenschaften

Name	Erläuterung	Datentyp
clipToElements (Lesen und schreiben)	If set to `True`, include the areas of the page that have map or layout element content only, rather than exporting the entire page. This property only applies when exporting a `Layout` object. The default value is `False`.	Boolean
convertMarkers (Lesen und schreiben)	Controls whether marker symbols based on font characters are exported as font characters or as polygons. Set this option to `True` to view the output on a machine that does not have the appropriate fonts installed when you cannot embed the fonts due to licensing or file format restrictions. This does not apply to text, only marker symbols based on fonts. The default value is `False`.	Boolean
embedColorProfile (Lesen und schreiben)	Include the color profile set for the map or layout in the exported file. This helps create consistency in colors when the file is viewed on different devices. If the profile is not embedded, or a non-color-managed viewer is used, the colors may be significantly different than what is seen on-screen. The default value is `True`. Hinweis: This option is only available when color management is enabled. If color management is not enabled and the colorspace is set to CMYK, the CMYK colorspace is still included in the export. This may cause some colors to appear differently when viewing the exported file.	Boolean
embedFonts (Lesen und schreiben)	Include embeddable fonts in the exported file to maintain font consistency across different platforms. Fonts that do not support embedding are not included, regardless of this setting. The default value is `True`. Hinweis: To correctly edit text as graphics, Illustrator requires fonts to be installed and accessible. Check the sharing permissions before embedding and sharing fonts. For high-range characters or ligatures, font embedding should be used to ensure proper addressing of these high-range characters. In the case where a font with high-range characters or ligatures cannot be embedded, check the Draw glyphs as geometry property on the text symbol.	Boolean
filePath (Lesen und schreiben)	A string that represents the system path and file name, including the extension, for the exported file.	String
height (Lesen und schreiben)	The height, in pixels, of the map area to be exported. This property only applies when exporting a `MapView` object. The default value is `960`.	Double
imageCompression (Lesen und schreiben)	A string constant that represents the compression scheme used to compress image or raster data in the output file. The default value is `ADAPTIVE`. ADAPTIVE—JPEG and Deflate compression are combined, depending on the contents of the stream. This works well for most cases. DEFLATE—Lossless compression method that works well for most cases. JPEG—Lossy compression method that works well for photographic-type images. JPEG2000—Higher quality compression with file sizes smaller than JPEG. This compression is lossless if `jpeg_compression_quality` is set to 100. LZW—Lossless compression method using a code table. NONE—Compression is not applied. RLE—Run-length encoded compression, a lossless compression method that works well if there are large areas of the same color.	String
imageCompressionQuality (Lesen und schreiben)	The amount of image compression applied to the export. Low quality has a smaller file size but less clear data; max quality has a larger file size but crisper data. This only applies when certain compression types are used. The default value is `80`.	Integer
imageQuality (Lesen und schreiben)	The amount of image resampling. The property determines the effective resolution of raster content on output. For instance, if `imageQuality` is set to `BETTER`, a resample ratio of `1:2`, and the output `resolution` is set to 300 dpi, the raster content is output at approximately `150` dpi. In many cases, the raster data can be included at a lower dpi than the vector data without visibly affecting quality, reducing the output file size. The default value is `BEST`. BEST—An output image quality resample ratio of 1 BETTER—An output image quality resample ratio of 2 NORMAL—An output image quality resample ratio of 3 FASTER—An output image quality resample ratio of 4 FASTEST—An output image quality resample ratio of 5	String
removeLayoutBackground (Lesen und schreiben)	Remove the page background as a graphic when exporting. This property only applies when exporting a `Layout` object. The default value is `True`.	Boolean
resolution (Lesen und schreiben)	The effective dpi of the output vector data. The default value is 96. Hinweis: When exporting a `MapView`, the dpi is calculated automatically using system dpi scaling and therefore this value will be ignored.	Integer
showSelectionSymbology (Lesen und schreiben)	Show selected features in the map or map frame as selected in the output file. Setting this value to `False` does not affect selection within the view, only in the output file. The default value is `False`.	Boolean
width (Lesen und schreiben)	The width, in pixels, of the map area to be exported. This property only applies when exporting a `MapView` object. The default value is `960`.	Double

`setImageQuality(image_quality)`

A string constant that sets the amount of image resampling.

The value determines the effective resolution of raster content on output. For instance, if the output image quality ratio is set to 1:2, an image_quality value of BETTER, and the output resolution is set to 300 dpi, the raster content is output at approximately 150 dpi. In many cases, the raster data can be included at a lower dpi than the vector data without visibly affecting quality, reducing the output file size.
