Create Constant Raster

Creates a raster of a constant value within the extent and cell size of the analysis window.

1. Output raster

The output raster for which each cell will have the specified constant value.

2. Constant value

The constant value with which to populate all the cells in the output raster.

3. Output data type (optional)

Data type of the output raster dataset.

  1. INTEGER—An integer raster will be created.
  2. FLOAT—A floating-point raster will be created.

If the specified data type is FLOAT, the values of the cells in the output raster will only be accurate to the constant value of 7 decimal places, regardless of the output format.

4. Output cell size (optional)

The cell size of the output raster that will be created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn't been explicitly specified as the parameter value, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

5. Output extent (optional)

The extent for the output raster dataset.

The extent will be the value in the environment if specifically set. If not specifically set, the default is 0, 0, 250, 250.

Create Normal Raster

Creates a raster of random floating-point values between 0.0 and 1.0 within the extent and cell size of the analysis window.

1. Output raster

The output raster of randomly distributed values with a range of 0.0 to 1.0

2. Seed value (optional)

A value to be used to reseed the random number generator.

This may be an integer or floating-point number. Rasters are not permitted as input.

The random number generator is automatically seeded with the current value of the system clock (seconds since January 1, 1970). The range of permissible values for the seed value is -231+1 to 231 (or -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,648).

3. Output cell size (optional)

The cell size of the output raster that will be created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn't been explicitly specified as the parameter value, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

4. Output extent (optional)

The extent for the output raster dataset.

The extent will be the value in the environment if specifically set. If not specifically set, the default is 0, 0, 250, 250.

Create Random Raster

Creates a raster of random floating-point values between 0.0 and 1.0 within the extent and cell size of the analysis window.

1. Output raster
