Summary
Generates a raster dataset from an input raster function or function chain.
Usage
The tool is designed for raster processing using multiple threads to help speed up the processing.
The output raster format can be TIFF, GRID, ERDAS IMAGINE, CRF (Cloud Raster Format), or MRF (Meta Raster Format).
Syntax
arcpy.management.GenerateRasterFromRasterFunction(raster_function, out_raster_dataset, {raster_function_arguments}, {raster_properties}, {format})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
raster_function | The name of a raster function, raster function JSON object, or function chain (in .rft.xml format). | File; String |
out_raster_dataset | The output raster dataset. | Raster Dataset |
raster_function_arguments [[Name, Value],...] (Optional) | The parameters associated with the function chain. For example, if the function chain applies the Hillshade raster function, set the data source, azimuth, and altitude. | Value Table |
raster_properties [[Name, Value],...] (Optional) | The output raster dataset key properties, such as the sensor or wavelength. | Value Table |
format (Optional) | The output raster format. The default format will be derived from the file extension that was specified in the output_raster_dataset.
| String |
Code sample
GenerateRasterFromRasterFunction example (stand-alone script)
This is a Python sample that uses the NDVI raster function to create a raster dataset.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\PrjWorkspace"
arcpy.GenerateRasterFromRasterFunction_management(
raster_function="NDVI",
out_raster_dataset="c:/temp/ndvitest.crf",
raster_function_arguments="Raster \\\\somemachine\\data\\test.tif; VisibleBandID 3;InfraredBandID 4",
format="CRF")
