| 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:
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. | Raster Dataset |
Shift X Coordinates by | The value used to shift the x-coordinates. | Double |
Shift Y Coordinates by | The value used to shift the y-coordinates. | Double |
Input Snap Raster (Optional) | The raster dataset used to align the cells of the output raster dataset. | Raster Layer |
Summary
Moves (slides) the raster to a new geographic location based on x and y shift values. This tool is helpful if your raster dataset needs to be shifted to align with another data file.
Illustration
Usage
The cell size of the output raster will be the same as that of the input raster.
The number of rows and columns in the output raster will be the same as those of the input raster, no matter what parameters are specified.
The coordinates of the lower left corner of the output raster will be offset from the input raster by the x and y shift coordinate values specified.
Using a negative shift x-coordinate value will shift the output to the left. A positive shift x-coordinate value will shift the output to the right. Using a negative shift y-coordinate value will shift the output down. A positive shift y-coordinate value will shift the output to the top.
The output raster dataset is nudged according to the location of the input snap raster, so the new shifted raster dataset can be aligned perfectly with another raster dataset.
This tool does not perform any resampling or warping.
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.
