Calculates the square root of the cell values in a raster.

OutRas = SquareRoot(InRas1)

Usage

  • Input values that are less than 0 will be NoData in the output raster.

  • The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.

  • 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
