How to create a Conditional Function raster dataset


Creating a Conditional Function raster dataset

Do the following steps to create a Conditional Function raster dataset:
  1. Create the Conditional Function object.
  2. Create the Conditional Function arguments object.
  3. Set the properties for the conditional function arguments.
    1. Specify the operation.
    2. Specify the input conditional raster.
    3. Specify the true raster and false raster.
      • These can be a Raster or Scalar object.
  4. Create a Raster function object.
  5. Create a Function raster dataset object.
  6. Initialize the new function raster dataset with the raster function and its arguments.
The following code example shows how to create a Conditional Function raster dataset by querying a raster for some values (using a greater than Math Function) to create the conditional raster, then use the Con operation to assign new output values based on another raster if the condition is True, and a scalar value, if the condition is false.
[C#]
////Executes the "GreaterThan" operation to create a conditional raster. 
//Create a Raster Function and Function Argument object.
IRasterFunction rasterFunction1=new MathFunction();
IMathFunctionArguments mathFunctionArguments=new MathFunctionArguments()as
    IMathFunctionArguments;

//Open a raster dataset and create a Scalar object for the "GreaterThan" operation.
.mathFunctionArguments.Operation =
    esriGeoAnalysisFunctionEnum.esriGeoAnalysisFunctionGreaterThan;
mathFunctionArguments.Raster=inRasterDataset01;
IScalar inScalar01=new Scalar();
inScalar01.Value=2000;
mathFunctionArguments.Raster2=inScalar01;

//Create and initialize the Function raster dataset.
IFunctionRasterDataset greaterThanRasterDataset;
greaterThanRasterDataset=new FunctionRasterDataset();
greaterThanRasterDataset.Init(rasterFunction1, mathFunctionArguments);

////Executes the "Con" operation.
//Create the Raster Function object and the Function Argument object.
IRasterFunction rasterFunction2=new ConditionalFunction();
IConditionalFunctionArguments conditionalFunctionArguments=new
    ConditionalFunctionArguments()as IConditionalFunctionArguments;

//Open the raster dataset and create a Scalar object for the input true and false raster for the input true raster for the Con operation.
//Use the Function raster dataset from the "GreaterThan" operation as the input conditional raster.
conditionalFunctionArguments.Operation =
    esriGeoAnalysisFunctionEnum.esriGeoAnalysisFunctionCon;
conditionalFunctionArguments.ConditionalRaster=greaterThanRasterDataset;
conditionalFunctionArguments.TrueRaster=inRasterDataset02;
IScalar inScalar02=new Scalar();
inScalar02.Value= - 999;
conditionalFunctionArguments.FalseRaster=inScalar02;

//Create and initialize a Function raster dataset.
IFunctionRasterDataset functionRasterDataset;
functionRasterDataset=new FunctionRasterDataset();
functionRasterDataset.Init(rasterFunction2, conditionalFunctionArguments);
