Summary
Performs a Relational equal-to operation on two inputs on a cell-by-cell basis.
Returns 1 for cells where the first raster equals the second raster and 0 for cells where it does not.
Illustration
Usage
Two inputs are necessary for this relational evaluation to take place.
The order of inputs is irrelevant 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
EqualTo(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 | The input that will be compared to for equality by 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 that will be compared from for equality by the first 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 |
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
EqualTo example 1 (Python window)
This example performs a Relational 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"
outEqualTo = EqualTo("degs", "negs")
outEqualTo.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outequalto.tif")
EqualTo example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example performs a Relational equal-to operation on two Grid rasters.
# Name: EqualTo_Ex_02.py
# Description: Performs a relational equal-to operation on two inputs
# on a cell-by-cell basis within the Analysis window
# 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
inRaster1 = "degs"
inRaster2 = "negs"
# Check out the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
# Execute EqualTo
outEqualTo = EqualTo(inRaster1, inRaster2)
# Save the output
outEqualTo.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outequalto")
