Log10 (Image Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Available with Image Analyst license.

Summary

Calculates the base 10 logarithm of cells in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = Log10(InRas1)

Usage

• The input can be of integer or float type.

  You can review some results for floating-point input values in the examples of output values from the Logarithmic tools.

• Input values that are 0 or negative 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.

Syntax

Log10(in_raster_or_constant)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	Input values for which to find the base 10 logarithm. 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 10 logarithm of the input values.	Raster

Code sample

Log10 example 1 (Python window)

This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values and generates the output as an IMG raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *
env.workspace = "C:/iapyexamples/data"
outLog10 = Log10("elevation")
outLog10.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outlog10.img")

Log10 example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values.

# Name: Log10_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the base 10 logarithm of pixels in a raster
# Requirements: Image Analyst Extension

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

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

# Set local variables
inRaster = "degs"

# Check out the ArcGIS Image Analyst extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("ImageAnalyst")

# Execute Log10
outLog10 = Log10(inRaster)

# Save the output 
outLog10.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outlog10")
