Summary
Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
Illustration
Usage
The order of inputs is irrelevant for this tool.
If both inputs are integer, the output will be an integer raster; otherwise, it will be a floating-point raster.
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
Times (in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 | The input containing the values to be multiplied. 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 containing the values by which the first input will be multiplied. 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 cell values are the product of the first input multiplied by the second. | Raster |
Code sample
Times example 1 (Python window)
This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outTimes = Times("elevation", "0.3048")
outTimes.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outtimes")
Times example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.
# Name: Times_Ex_02.py
# Description: Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
# Requirements: Spatial Analyst Extension
# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
# Set local variables
inRaster = "elevation"
inConstant = 0.3048
# Check out the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
# Execute Times
outTimes = Times(inRaster, inConstant)
# Save the output
outTimes.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/timesout")
