Exp2 (Image Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Available with Image Analyst license.

Summary

Calculates the base 2 exponential of the cells in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = Exp2(InRas1)

Usage

• Input values can be integer or float as well as negative or positive.

  You can review some results for both positive and negative floating-point input values in the examples of output values from the Exponential tools.

• Input values less than or equal to -1,075 will be set to NoData in the output, because these values cannot be accurately represented by 32-bit floating-point numbers.

• The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.

• Output values from this tool are always positive.

• If the input is a multiband raster, the output will be a multiband raster. The tool will perform the operation on each band in the input.

Syntax

Exp2(in_raster_or_constant)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	The input values for which to find the base 2 exponential. To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.	Raster Layer; Constant

Return Value

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_raster	The output raster. The cell values are the base 2 exponential of the input values.	Raster

Code sample

Exp2 example 1 (Python window)

This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values, and returns the result as an IMG raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *
env.workspace = "C:/iapyexamples/data"
outExp2 = Exp2("degs")
outExp2.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outexp2.img")

Exp2 example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example calculates the base 2 exponential of the input raster values.

# Name: Exp2_Ex_02.py
# Description: Calculates the base 2 exponential of pixels in a raster
# Requirements: Image Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *

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

# Set local variables
inRaster = "degs"

# Check out the ArcGIS Image Analyst extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("ImageAnalyst")

# Execute Exp2
outExp2 = Exp2(inRaster)

# Save the output 
outExp2.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outexp2")
