Summary
Performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two inputs on a cell-by-cell basis.
Returns 1 for cells where the first raster is greater than or equal to the second raster and 0 if it is not.
Illustration
Usage
Two inputs are necessary for this relational evaluation to take place.
The order of inputs is relevant for this tool.
In Map Algebra, the equivalent operator symbol for this tool is ">=" (link).
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
Syntax
GreaterThanEqual (in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 | The input being tested to determine if it is greater than or equal to the second input. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer | Constant |
in_raster_or_constant2 | The input against which the first input is tested to be greater than or equal to. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer | Constant |
Return Value
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
| out_raster | The output raster. The output cell values will be either integer 0 or 1, or NoData if any input cell value is NoData. | Raster |
Code sample
GreaterThanEqual example 1 (Python window)
This example performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two Grid rasters and outputs the result as a TIFF raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outGTE = GreaterThanEqual("degs", "negs")
outGTE.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outgte.tif")
GreaterThanEqual example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two Grid rasters.
