Build Multidimensional Transpose (Data Management)

Summary

Transposes a multidimensional raster dataset, which divides the multidimensional data along each dimension to optimize performance when accessing pixel values across all slices.

Legacy:

This is a deprecated tool. The Build Multidimensional Transpose tool has been moved to the Multidimensional toolbox.

Usage

• The input multidimensional raster must be in Cloud Raster Format (CRF). Currently, no other formats are supported.

• The Build Multidimensional Transpose tool enhances performance when accessing pixel values across all slices in a large multidimensional dataset, for example when you create a temporal profile chart for daily sea surface temperature values across 10 years.

Syntax

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_multidimensional_raster	The input CRF multidimensional raster dataset.	Raster Layer

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
updated_multidimensional_raster	The updated CRF multidimensional raster dataset.	Raster Dataset

Code sample

BuildMultidimensionalTranspose example 1 (Python window)

This is a Python sample for the BuildMultidimensionalTranspose tool.

import arcpy
## Build the transpose for a sea surface temperature CRF dataset
arcpy.BuildMultidimensionalTranspose_management(
	"C:/Multidimensional/SST_1992_2018")

BuildMultidimensionalTranspose example 2 (stand-alone script)

This is a Python script sample for the BuildMultidimensionalTranspose tool.

## import arcpy and set workspace

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Workspace/data"

## Build the transpose for a CRF of temperature data

arcpy.BuildMultidimensionalTranspose_management(
	"Temperature_CRF")
