[Bmelibpy-devel] linking ArcGIS and python visually ...

[Didrik P. <dp...@it...>]

Hi,

I've investigated the way you could interact dynamically with a working
session of ArcGIS.

First precision : 
ArcGIS 9 has opened a Geoprocessing API that gives you the ability of
doing batch processing, etc but without visual interaction.

If Yasuyuki wants to have a fully working GUI of bmelibpy integrated in
ArcGIS, it will be possible but not easy to do. 

The way to do it is the following :
- use the Python win32 COM client that will launch ArcGIS (I'm trying to
do it but without success at the moment).
- then all the visual interaction will be possible (add layer, raster,
etc. to the current workspace).

I may be wrong but, according to my current knowledge of the possible
interaction with ArcGIS, I feel that it is the only way to do it.

Yasuyuki, if you need some explanation about that, feel free to contact
me.
