Float (Spatial Analyst Tools)
Summary
Converts each cell value of a raster into a floating-point representation.
Illustration
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.

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