Summary
Calculates the base 2 exponential of the cells in a raster.
Illustration
Usage
Input values can be integer or float, and can be negative as well as positive.
You can review some results for both positive and negative floating-point input values in the examples of output values from the Exponential tools.
Input values less than or equal to -1,075 will be set to NoData in the output, because these values cannot be accurately represented by 32-bit floating-point numbers.
The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.
Output values from this tool are always positive.
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
Syntax
Exp2 (in_raster_or_constant)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant | The input values for which to find the base 2 exponential. In order to use a number as an input for this parameter, 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 base 2 exponential of the input values. | Raster |
Code sample
Exp2 example 1 (Python window)
This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values, and returns the result as an IMG raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outExp2 = Exp2("degs")
outExp2.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outexp2.img")
Exp2 example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values.
# Name: Exp2_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the base 2 exponential of cells in a raster
