Greater Than Equal (Image Analyst)

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Available with Image Analyst license.

Summary

Performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two inputs on a cell-by-cell basis.

Returns 1 for cells where the first raster is greater than or equal to the second raster and 0 if it is not.

Illustration

OutRas = GreaterThanEqual(InRas1, 2)

Usage

• Two inputs are necessary for this relational evaluation to take place.

• The order of inputs is relevant for this tool.

• 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

GreaterThanEqual(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant1	The input being tested to determine if it is greater than or equal to the second input. 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 against which the first input is tested to be greater than or equal to. 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

Return Value

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_raster	The output raster. The output cell values will be either integer 0 or 1, or NoData if any input cell value is NoData.	Raster

Code sample

GreaterThanEqual example 1 (Python window)

This example performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two Grid rasters and outputs the result as a TIFF raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *
env.workspace = "C:/iapyexamples/data"
outGTE = GreaterThanEqual("degs", "negs")
outGTE.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outgte.tif")

GreaterThanEqual example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example performs a Relational greater-than-or-equal-to operation on two Grid rasters.

# Description: Performs a relational greater-than-equal operation on
#              two inputs on a pixel-by-pixel basis within the Analysis
#              window
# Requirements: Image Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
