Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input raster | The input surface raster. | Raster Layer |
Output raster | The output hillshade raster. The hillshade raster has an integer value range of 0 to 255. | Raster Dataset |
Azimuth (Optional) | Azimuth angle of the light source. The azimuth is expressed in positive degrees from 0 to 360, measured clockwise from north. The default is 315 degrees. | Double |
Altitude (Optional) | Altitude angle of the light source above the horizon. The altitude is expressed in positive degrees, with 0 degrees at the horizon and 90 degrees directly overhead. The default is 45 degrees. | Double |
Model shadows (Optional) | Type of shaded relief to be generated.
| Boolean |
Z factor (Optional) | The number of ground x,y units in one surface z-unit. The z-factor adjusts the units of measure for the z-units when they are different from the x,y units of the input surface. The z-values of the input surface are multiplied by the z-factor when calculating the final output surface. If the x,y units and z-units are in the same units of measure, the z-factor is 1. This is the default. If the x,y units and z-units are in different units of measure, the z-factor must be set to the appropriate factor or the results will be incorrect. For example, if the z-units are feet and the x,y units are meters, you would use a z-factor of 0.3048 to convert the z-units from feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meter). | Double |
