Summary

Converts each cell value of a raster into a floating-point representation.

Illustration

OutRas = Float (InRas1)

Usage

  • The input values can be positive or negative.

  • If you execute Float on an input that is already floating point, the output values will remain the same as the input values.

  • 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.

  • If the input is multidimensional raster data, all slices from all variables will be processed. The output will be a multidimensional raster in CRF format.

  • See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.
