GPTool

public class ASCIIToRaster
extends AbstractGPTool

Converts an ASCII file representing raster data to a raster dataset. The ASCII to Raster tool is contained in the Conversion Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The input file is an ASCII format text file.
• The structure of the ASCII file consists of header information containing a set of keywords, followed by cell values in row-major order.There are two variations of the structure of the ASCII file. One identifies the origin by the coordinates of the lower left corner of the lower left cell, or as the center of the lower left cell.The format of the file in general is:The definitions of the keywords are as follows:
• An example of an ASCII raster file is:
• The NODATA_VALUE is the value in the ASCII file that will be assigned to NoData cells in the output raster. This value is normally reserved for those cells whose true value is unknown.
• The number of cell values contained in the file must be equal to the number of rows times the number of columns, or an error will be returned.
• The output data type can be either float or integer.

Constructor Detail

ASCIIToRaster

public ASCIIToRaster()

Creates the ASCII to Raster tool with defaults.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the default values specified when the tool was created.

ASCIIToRaster

public ASCIIToRaster(Object inAsciiFile,
                     Object outRaster)

Creates the ASCII to Raster tool with the required parameters.

Initializes the array of tool parameters with the values as specified for the required parameters and with the default values for the other parameters.

Parameters:

inAsciiFile - the input ASCII file to be converted.

outRaster - the output raster dataset to be created. when not saving to a geodatabase, specify .tif for a TIFF file format, .img for an ERDAS IMAGINE file format, or no extension for a GRID raster format.
