Summary

Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.

Usage

  • The order of inputs is irrelevant for this tool.

  • If both inputs are integer, the output will be an integer raster; otherwise, it will be a floating-point raster.

  • If both inputs are single band rasters, or one of the inputs is a constant, the output will be a single band raster.

  • If both inputs are multiband rasters, or one of the inputs is a constant, the output will be a multiband raster. The number of bands in each multiband input must be the same.

  • The tool will perform the operation on each band from one input against the corresponding band from the other input. If one of the inputs is a multiband raster and the other input is a constant, the tool will perform the operation against the constant value for each band in the multiband input.

Syntax

Times(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2, out_raster)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant1

The input containing the values to be multiplied.

A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.

Raster Layer; Constant
in_raster_or_constant2

The input containing the values by which the first input will be multiplied.

A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.

Raster Layer; Constant
out_raster

The output raster.

The cell values are the product of the first input multiplied by the second.

Code sample

Times example 1 (Python window)

This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.Times_3d("elevation", 0.3048, "C:/output/outtimes")
Times example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.

# Name: Times_3D_Ex_02.py
# Description: Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
# Requirements: 3D Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

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

# Set local variables
inRaster = "elevation"
inConstant = 0.3048

# Execute Times
arcpy.Times_3d(inRaster, inConstant, "c:/output/timesout")
