Convert Feature to Raster (Map Viewer)

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 Input feature layer parameter, which identifies the features to be converted to raster. This tool uses the cell center to determine the value of a raster pixel. For feature inputs, a count of features is displayed below the layer name. The count includes all features in the layer, except features that have been removed using a filter. Environment settings, such as Processing extent, are not reflected in the feature count.

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:
