Available with ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online.
The Convert Feature to Raster tool converts features to a raster.
The output is a hosted imagery layer.
Usage notes
Convert Feature to Raster includes configurations for input features, analysis settings, and the result layer.
Input features
The Input features group includes the following parameter:
Input feature layer identifies the features to be converted to raster. This tool uses the cell center to determine the value of a raster pixel.
Analysis settings
The Analysis settings group includes the following parameters:
Value field is used to assign values to the output raster. It determines the type of output raster. If the field is integer, the output raster will be integer; if it is floating point, the output will be floating point.
Output cell size is the cell size of the output raster.
Result layer
The Result layer group includes the following parameters:
Output raster name is the name of the output raster layer that will be created.
The name must be unique. If a layer with the same name already exists in your organization, the tool will fail and you will be prompted to use a different name.
- Output layer type specifies the type of raster output that will be created. The output can be either a tiled imagery layer or a dynamic imagery layer.
- Save in folder specifies the name of a folder in My Content where the result will be saved.
Environments
Analysis environment settings are additional parameters that affect a tool's results. You can access the tool's analysis environment settings from the Environment settings parameter group.
This tool honors the following analysis environments:
- Cell size
- Output coordinate system
- Processing extent
Note:
The default processing extent in Map Viewer is Full extent. This default is different from Map Viewer Classic in which Use current map extent is enabled by default.
- Snap raster
