Boolean Not (Spatial Analyst)

Summary

Performs a Boolean Not (complement) operation on the cell values of the input raster.

If the input values are true (non-zero), the output value is 0. If the input values are false (zero), the output is 1.

Usage

  • The Boolean math tools interpret the inputs as Boolean values in which nonzero values are considered true and zero is considered false.

  • Only a single input is necessary for this Boolean evaluation to take place.

  • If the input values are floating point, they are converted to integer values of either 0 or 1 before the operation is performed. If the input value is a floating point 0.0, it is converted to an integer 0. If the input is any value other than 0.0, it is converted to an integer 1. For example, input float values of 0.6, 32.22 and -4.2 will all be treated as 1. The output values are always integer.

  • If the input is a multiband raster, the output will be a multiband raster. The tool will perform the operation on each band in the input.

  • If the input is multidimensional raster data, all slices from all variables will be processed. The output will be a multidimensional raster in CRF format.

Parameters

Input raster or constant value

The input to use in this Boolean operation.

To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.
