Summary

Reorients the raster by flipping it, from left to right, along the vertical axis through the center of the raster.

Illustration

Mirror illustration

Usage

  • Mirror flips the raster from left to right along the vertical axis through the center of the region.

  • You can save your output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, Esri Grid, GIF, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, or any geodatabase raster dataset.

  • When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type type and Compression Quality within the Environment Settings.

Syntax

Mirror_management (in_raster, out_raster)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster

Input raster dataset.

Mosaic Layer; Raster Layer
out_raster

Output raster dataset.

When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension:

  • .bil—Esri BIL
  • .bip—Esri BIP
  • .bmp—BMP
  • .bsq—Esri BSQ
  • .dat—ENVI DAT
  • .gif—GIF
  • .img—ERDAS IMAGINE
  • .jpg—JPEG
  • .jp2—JPEG 2000
  • .png—PNG
  • .tif—TIFF
  • no extension for Esri Grid

When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset.

When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, a TIFF file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the Environment Settings.
