Expand function

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Overview

Expands specified zones of a raster by zones by a specified number of cells.

This is a global raster function.

Notes

The specified zone values are considered foreground zones, while the remaining zone values are considered background zones. With this tool, the foreground zones are allowed to expand into the background zones.

NoData cells are always considered background cells; therefore, neighboring cells of any value can expand into NoData cells. NoData cells will never expand into their neighbors.
