Mirror (Data Management)

Summary

Reorients the raster by turning it over, from left to right, along the vertical axis through the center of the raster.

Illustration

Usage

• This tool flips the raster from left to right along the vertical axis through the center of the region.

• You can save your output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, Esri Grid , GIF, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, MRF, CRF, or any geodatabase raster dataset.

• When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the Environments.

• This tool supports multidimensional raster data. To run the tool on each slice in the multidimensional raster and generate a multidimensional raster output, be sure to save the output to CRF.

  Supported input multidimensional dataset types include multidimensional raster layer, mosaic dataset, image service, and CRF.

Syntax

arcpy.management.Mirror(in_raster, out_raster)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster	The input raster dataset.	Mosaic Layer; Raster Layer
out_raster	The output raster dataset. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension: .bil—Esri BIL .bip—Esri BIP .bmp—BMP .bsq—Esri BSQ .dat—ENVI DAT .gif—GIF .img—ERDAS IMAGINE .jpg—JPEG .jp2—JPEG 2000 .png—PNG .tif—TIFF .mrf—MRF .crf—CRF No extension for Esri Grid When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset. When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, a TIFF file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the geoprocessing Environments.	Raster Dataset
