OutRas = Negate(InRas1)

Usage

  • If the input is integer, the output raster will be integer type. If the input is floating point, the output raster will be floating point.

  • 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.

  • In ArcPy, if the input is a multidimensional raster, all slices from all variables will be processed, and the output will be a multidimensional raster.

Parameters
