Abs (Spatial Analyst Tools)
Summary
Calculates the absolute value of the cells in a raster.
Illustration
Usage
Input values can be positive or negative and can be either integer or floating point.
If the input is integer, the output raster will be integer type. If the input is floating point, the output raster will be floating point.
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.
When the input raster has rectangular cells, it will be processed so that the output raster cells will be square with sides equal to the average of the rectangular length and width.
See Analysis environments and Spatial Analyst for additional details on the geoprocessing environments that apply to this tool.

Input raster or constant value |
The input raster for which to calculate the absolute values. To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. |
