Build Multidimensional Transpose (Multidimension)

Summary

Transposes a multidimensional raster dataset, which divides the multidimensional data along each dimension to optimize performance when accessing pixel values across all slices.

Usage

• The input multidimensional raster must be in Cloud Raster Format (CRF). Currently, no other formats are supported.

• The Build Multidimensional Transpose tool enhances performance when accessing pixel values across all slices in a large multidimensional dataset, for example when you create a temporal profile chart for daily sea surface temperature values across 10 years.

Syntax

arcpy.md.BuildMultidimensionalTranspose(in_multidimensional_raster, {delete_transpose})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_multidimensional_raster	The input CRF multidimensional raster dataset.	Raster Layer
delete_transpose (Optional)	Specifies whether an existing transpose will be deleted. DELETE_TRANSPOSE —If a transpose exists, it will be deleted and no new transpose will be built. NO_DELETE_TRANSPOSE —If a transpose exists, it will be overwritten by the newly built transpose. This is the default.	Boolean

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
updated_multidimensional_raster	The updated CRF multidimensional raster dataset.	Raster Dataset

Code sample

BuildMultidimensionalTranspose example 1 (Python window)

This is a Python sample for the BuildMultidimensionalTranspose tool.
