Exp2 (Spatial Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Summary

Calculates the base 2 exponential of the cells in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = Exp2(InRas1)

Usage

• Input values can be integer or float as well as negative or positive.

  You can review some results for both positive and negative floating-point input values in the examples of output values from the Exponential tools.

• Input values less than or equal to -1,075 will be set to NoData in the output, because these values cannot be accurately represented by 32-bit floating-point numbers.

• The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.

• Output values from this tool are always positive.

• 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.

• See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.

Parameters

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input raster or constant value	The input values for which to find the base 2 exponential. 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

Return Value

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Output raster	The output raster. The cell values are the base 2 exponential of the input values.	Raster

Python

Exp2(in_raster_or_constant)

Name	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	The input values for which to find the base 2 exponential. 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

Return Value

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_raster	The output raster. The cell values are the base 2 exponential of the input values.	Raster

Code sample

Exp2 example 1 (Python window)

This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values, and returns the result as an IMG raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outExp2 = Exp2("degs")
outExp2.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outexp2.img")

Exp2 example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values.

# Name: Exp2_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the base 2 exponential of cells in a raster
# Requirements: Spatial Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *

# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"

# Set local variables
inRaster = "degs"

# Execute Exp2
outExp2 = Exp2(inRaster)

# Save the output 
outExp2.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outexp2")
