Square Root (Image Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Summary

Calculates the square root of the cell values in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = SquareRoot(InRas1)

Usage

• Input values that are less than 0 will be NoData in the output raster.

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

• 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

Dialog

Label	Explanation	Data Type
Input raster or constant value	The input values to find the square root of. 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 square root of the input cell values.	Raster

Python
