Summary

Adds (sums) the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.

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, the tool will perform the operation on each band from one input, and the output will be a multiband raster. The number of bands in each multiband input must be the same.

  • If one of the inputs is a multiband raster and the other input is a constant, the tool will perform the operation using the constant value for each band in the multiband input, and the output will be a multiband raster.

  • In ArcPy, if both inputs are multidimensional rasters with the same number of variables, the tool will perform the operation for all slices with the same dimension value, and the output will be a multidimensional raster. The variables in the inputs must have the same dimensions or common dimension but no uncommon dimensions.

    If both inputs have one variable but different names, set the matchMultidimensionalVariable geoprocessing environment to False to perform the operation.

    In ArcPy, if one of the inputs is a multidimensional raster and the other input is a constant, the tool will perform the operation for all slices for all variables using the constant value, and the output will be a multidimensional raster.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input raster or constant value 1

The input whose values will be added to.

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
Input raster or constant value 2

The input whose values will be added to the first input.

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
Output raster

The output raster.

The cell values are the sum of the first input added to the second.

Raster Dataset

arcpy.ddd.Plus(in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2, out_raster)
NameExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant1

The input whose values will be added to.

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 whose values will be added to the first input.

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
out_raster

The output raster.

The cell values are the sum of the first input added to the second.

Code sample

Plus example 1 (Python window)

This example adds the values of two Grid rasters and outputs the result as an IMG raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.Plus_3d("elevation", 15, "C:/output/outplus.img")
Plus example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example adds the values of two Grid rasters and outputs the result as a Grid raster.

# Name: Plus_3d_Ex_02.py
# Description: Adds the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.
# Requirements: 3D Analyst Extension

# Import system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "C:/data"

# Set local variables
inRaster = "elevation"
