Shrink function

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Overview

Shrinks specified zones of a raster by a specified number of cells.

This is a global raster function.

Notes

The specified zone values are considered foreground zones, while the remaining zone values are considered background zones. With this tool, cells in the foreground zones are allowed to be replaced by cells in the background zones.

NoData has the same priority as any valid value to invade areas vacated by shrinking selected values. Therefore, if a selected value is adjacent to NoData, it may become NoData after shrinking.
