An overview of the Local toolset

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

The local tools are those where the value at each cell location on the output raster is a function of the values from all the inputs at that location.

To perform the calculation, a local tool only needs, for each of the input rasters, the value at that location, as well as (in some cases) a comparison value. Once the result is generated, the calculation is made for the next cell location, and the process is iterated until all cells have been processed.

With the local tools, you can combine the input rasters or calculate a statistic on them.

The following table lists the available tools and provides a brief description of each.

ToolDescription

Cell Statistics

Calculates a per-cell statistic from multiple rasters.

Combine

Combines multiple rasters so that a unique output value is assigned to each unique combination of input values.
