Square (Image Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Available with Image Analyst license.

Summary

Calculates the square of the cell values in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = Square(InRas1)

Usage

• Output values are floating point if the input values are floating point; if the input values are integer, the output values are integer.

• 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

Square(in_raster_or_constant)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	The input values to find the square 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

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_raster	The output raster. The cell values are the square of the input cell values.	Raster

Code sample

Square example 1 (Python window)

This example finds the square of the values in the input GRID raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *
env.workspace = "C:/iapyexamples/data"
outSquare = Square("degs")
outSquare.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outsq")

Square example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example finds the square of the values in the input GRID raster.

# Name: Square_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the square of the 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 Square
outSquare = Square(inRaster)

# Save the output 
outSquare.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outsquare")
