Summary
Determines which values from the input raster are NoData on a cell-by-cell basis.
Returns a value of 1 if the input value is NoData and 0 for cells that are not.
Illustration
Usage
Is Null can be used along with the Con tool to change NoData cells to a value.
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
IsNull(in_raster)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster | The input raster being tested to identify the cells that are NoData (null). The input can be either integer or floating-point type. | Raster Layer |
Return Value
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
out_raster | The output raster. The output identifies with an integer value of 1 which cells in the input are NoData. If the input is any other value, the output is 0. | Raster |
Code sample
This example identifies which cells in the input raster are NoData, and outputs the result as an IMG raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.ia import *
env.workspace = "C:/iapyexamples/data"
outIsNull = IsNull("degs")
outIsNull.save("C:/iapyexamples/output/outisnull.img")
This example identifies which cells in the input raster are NoData, and outputs the result as a Grid raster.
