Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want a python script that tells me
the Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax of a polygon. (I guess this is
finding the extent of a polygon?)  My current script gives me
the correct the Xmin and Xmax, but it gives me the Ymin and Ymax
of the data frame. I want the Ymin and Ymax of a polygon.  Here
is my current code:  # Specify the shapefile shapeFile =
"C:/Big_Creek_MapUnits.shp"  # Use the describe function desc =
arcpy.Describe(shapeFile)  # Print stuff out  Anyone have any
solutions or tips?  share|improve this question Thank you. I
mean polygon. –  user1191849 Sep 18 '12 at 7:16 add comment  2

the extent of each polygon in a shapefile?  rows =
arcpy.SearchCursor(inFeatures) shapeName =
arcpy.Describe(inFeatures).shapeFieldName for row in rows:
feat = row.getValue(shapeName)     extent = feat.extent
print extent.XMin,extent.YMin,extent.XMax,extent.YMax
