Summary
Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
Illustration
Usage
The order of inputs is irrelevant for this tool.
If both inputs are integer, the output will be an integer raster; otherwise, it will be a floating-point raster.
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.
In Map Algebra, the equivalent operator symbol for this tool is "*" (link).
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
Syntax
Times(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 | The input containing the values to be multiplied. 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 containing the values by which the first input will be multiplied. 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 cell values are the product of the first input multiplied by the second. | Raster |
Code sample
This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outTimes = Times("elevation", "0.3048")
outTimes.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outtimes")
