i am trying to build a toolbox which would first take some inputs and execute some code and return me results. After the results i would like toolbox to ask me for new parameters so i can use these results.
Here is my idea with the code
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import arcpy
class Toolbox(object):
def __init__(self):
"""Define the toolbox (the name of the toolbox is the name of the
.pyt file)."""
self.label = "Toolbox"
self.alias = "toolbox"
# List of tool classes associated with this toolbox
self.tools = [Tool]
class Tool(object):
def __init__(self):
"""Define the tool (tool name is the name of the class)."""
self.label = "Tool"
self.description = ""
self.canRunInBackground = False
def getParameterInfo(self):
"""Define parameter definitions"""
input_folder = arcpy.Parameter(
name='input_folder',
displayName='Input Folder',
datatype='DEWorkspace',
direction='Input',
parameterType='Required')
params = [input_folder]
return params
def isLicensed(self):
"""Set whether tool is licensed to execute."""
return True
def updateParameters(self, parameters):
"""Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal
validation is performed. This method is called whenever a parameter
has been changed."""
return
def updateMessages(self, parameters):
"""Modify the messages created by internal validation for each tool
parameter. This method is called after internal validation."""
return
def execute(self, parameters, messages):
"""The source code of the tool."""
#show me some results which i will make use.
#execute something to get new parameter from user input and make operation.
#and make the operation.
return
