Edit Raster Function (Data Management Tools)

Summary

Adds, replaces, or removes a function chain in a mosaic dataset or a raster layer that contains a raster function.

Usage

  • To apply the rft.xml to items in a mosaic dataset, you must select the items in the attribute table or define a query using the Make Mosaic Layer tool.

  • Database fragmentation and frequent data manipulation can significantly increase the size of a mosaic dataset. If the database size is large due to constant transactions, run the Compact tool.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input Raster

The mosaic dataset or a raster layer. If you use a raster layer, it must have a function applied.

Mosaic Layer; Raster Layer

Mosaic Dataset Items

(Optional)

Determines if edits affect functions or the entire mosaic dataset.

  • CheckedEdits affect the functions associated with all of the items within the mosaic dataset.

  • UncheckedEdits affect the functions associated with the mosaic dataset. This is the default.

Boolean

Edit Options

(Optional)

Insert, replace, or remove a function chain.

  • InsertInsert the function chain above the Function Name of the existing chain. Specify the function chain below in the Function Name parameter. This is the default.

  • ReplaceReplace the existing function chain with the function chain specified in this tool. Specify the function chain below in the Function Name parameter.

  • RemoveRemove the function chain starting from the function specified in the Function Name parameter.

String

Raster Function Template

(Optional)

Choose the function chain (rft.xml file) that you want to insert or replace.

File

Function Name

(Optional)

Choose where to insert, replace, or remove the function chain within the existing function chain.

If you Insert the function, it will be inserted above the function specified in the Function Name parameter.
