Summary
Calculates the base 10 logarithm of cells in a raster.
Illustration
Usage
The input can be of integer or float type.
You can review some results for floating-point input values in the examples of output values from the Logarithmic tools.
Input values that are 0 or negative will be NoData in the output raster.
The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
Syntax
Log10(in_raster_or_constant)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant | Input values for which to find the base 10 logarithm. 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 10 logarithm of the input values. | Raster |
Code sample
Log10 example 1 (Python window)
This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values and generates the output as an IMG raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outLog10 = Log10("elevation")
outLog10.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outlog10.img")
Log10 example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values.
# Name: Log10_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the base 10 logarithm of cells in a raster
