Summary
Creates a raster object that simultaneously displays the aspect and slope of a surface.
Discussion
For more information about how this function works, see the Aspect Slope raster function.
The referenced raster dataset for the raster object is temporary. To make it permanent, you can call the raster object's save method.
Syntax
AspectSlope (raster, {z_factor})
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
raster |
The input elevation raster. | Raster |
z_factor | The z-factor is a scaling factor used to convert the elevation values for the following purposes:
If the x,y units and z units are in the same units of measure, the z-factor should be set to 1. The z-values of the input surface are multiplied by the z-factor when calculating the final output surface. (The default value is 1) | Double |
Data Type | Explanation |
Raster | The output raster. |
Code sample
This example calculates the aspect and slope of the raster.
from arcpy.sa import *
out_aspectslope_raster = AspectSlope("elevation.tif", 3)
out_aspectslope_raster.save("C:/arcpyExamples/outputs/aspectslope.tif")
This example calculates the aspect and slope of the raster.
# Import the system modules
import arcpy
from arcpy.sa import *
# Set the analysis environments
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/arcpyExamples/data"
# Set the local variables
in_raster = "elevation.tif"
# Execute the AspectSlope function
out_aspectslope_raster = AspectSlope(in_raster, 3)
# Save the output
out_aspectslope_raster.save("C:/arcpyExamples/outputs/aspectslope.tif")
