Remarks

dataset

Input featureclass, featureclassdescriptor, featurelayer to be converted to raster

rasterFormat

ESRI GRID, ERDAS Imagine or TIFF formats are supported. The strings for rasterformat are "GRID", "IMAGINE Image" and "TIFF" respectively and they are case sensitive.

The format string “GRID” creates an output ESRI GRID with no file extension

The format string "TIFF" creates a TIFF file with ".tif" extension. ArcGIS also supports TIFF format with ".tiff" and ".tff" extensions. A format string "TIF" creates a TIFF file with ".tiff" extention and a format string "TFF" creates a TIFF file with ".tff" extension

The format string “IMAGINE Image” creates a raster output with “.img” file extension

pWorkspace

an object specifying the directory or subdirectory to contain the output rasterdataset

name

The name of the output raster dataset
