Float (Spatial Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Available with 3D Analyst license.

Summary

Converts each cell value of a raster into a floating-point representation.

Illustration

Usage

• The input values can be positive or negative.

• If you execute on an input that is already floating point, the output values will remain the same as the input values.

• 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

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input raster or constant value	The input raster to be converted to floating point. To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.	Raster Layer; Constant

Name	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	The input raster to be converted to floating point. To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.	Raster Layer; Constant
