Mirror (Data Management)

Summary

Reorients the raster by turning it over, from left to right, along the vertical axis through the center of the raster.

Illustration

Usage

• This tool flips the raster from left to right along the vertical axis through the center of the region.

• You can save the output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, Esri Grid, GIF, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, MRF, or CRF format, or any geodatabase raster dataset.

• When storing a raster dataset to a JPEG format file, a JPEG 2000 format file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type value and a Compression Quality value in the geoprocessing environments.

Parameters

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input Raster	The input raster dataset.	Mosaic Layer; Raster Layer
Output Raster Dataset	The output raster dataset. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, specify the file extension as follows: .bil—Esri BIL .bip—Esri BIP .bmp—BMP .bsq—Esri BSQ .dat—ENVI DAT .gif—GIF .img—ERDAS IMAGINE .jpg—JPEG .jp2—JPEG 2000 .png—PNG .tif—TIFF .mrf—MRF .crf—CRF No extension for Esri Grid When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, do not add a file extension to the name of the raster dataset. When storing a raster dataset to a JPEG format file, a JPEG 2000 format file, a TIFF format file, or a geodatabase, you can specify Compression Type and Compression Quality values in the geoprocessing environments.
