Negate (Spatial Analyst Tools)

Summary

Changes the sign (multiplies by -1) of the cell values of the input raster on a cell-by-cell basis.

OutRas = Negate(InRas1)

Usage

  • 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.

  • In map algebra, the equivalent operator symbol for this tool is "-" (link).

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

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input raster or constant value

The input raster to be negated (multiplied by -1).

To use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.

Raster Layer; Constant

Return value

Label Explanation Data type
