Square Root (Spatial Analyst Tools)

Summary

Calculates the square root of the cell values in a raster.

OutRas = SquareRoot(InRas1)

Usage

  • Input values that are less than 0 will be NoData in the output raster.

  • The output raster from this tool is always floating-point type, regardless of the input value type.

  • 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.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Input raster or constant value

The input values to find the square root of.

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