arcpy - Can you access ArcScan from a python script?


I'm using a python script with ArcPy in ArcGIS 10, and want to access some ArcScan functions.


Is this possible? I can't see anything in the documentation about it, but I can't really find any very good ArcPy documentation.


Update: Just to add some extra information: I want to run the centreline vectorisation method (see here) from an ArcPy script. Is that possible?



Answer



From the ArcGIS 10.0 Help it appears that there are only three ArcPy modules (mapping, sa - Spatial Analyst, and ga - Geostatistical Analyst).


To this was added arcpy.na (Network Analyst) at 10.1.


I read this to mean that ArcPy can be used to access a fair amount of mapping functionality from core ArcGIS Desktop, as well as more from the Spatial, Geostatistical and Network Analyst extension products.


ArcScan is just one of a number of ArcGIS Desktop extensions lacking an ArcPy module at the moment.
