Available with Spatial Analyst license.
Summary
Calculates the square of the cell values in a raster.
Illustration
Usage
Output values are floating point if the input values are floating point; if the input values are integer, the output values are integer.
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
Syntax
Square(in_raster_or_constant)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant | The input values to find the square of. 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 square of the input cell values. | Raster |
Code sample
Square example 1 (Python window)
This example finds the square of the values in the input GRID raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outSquare = Square("degs")
outSquare.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outsq")
Square example 2 (stand-alone script)
This example finds the square of the values in the input GRID raster.
