Calculate Z-value (Geostatistical Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro

Available with Geostatistical Analyst license.

Summary

Uses the interpolation model in a geostatistical layer to predict a value at a single location.

Usage

This tool is generally used only in a model or in scripting.

Syntax

arcpy.ga.GACalculateZValue(in_geostat_layer, point_coord)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_geostat_layer	The geostatistical layer to be analyzed.	Geostatistical Layer
point_coord	The x,y coordinate of the point for which the Z-value will be calculated.	Point

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_z_value	The predicted Z-value at the specified x,y coordinate.	Double

Code sample

GACalculateZValue (Python window)

Predict a value at a location using a kriging geostatistical layer.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/gapyexamples/data"
outCZV = arcpy.GACalculateZValue_ga("C:/gapyexamples/data/Kriging.lyr", 
                                    "-2000000 -50000")
print(outCZV)

GACalculateZValue (stand-alone script)
