All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class ExtractByPoints
extends AbstractGPTool

Extracts the cells of a raster based on a set of coordinate points. The Extract by Points tool is contained in the Spatial Analyst Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• Cell locations that are not selected are assigned a value of NoData.
• When a is specified as input, a new multiband raster will be created as output. Each individual band in the input multiband raster will be analyzed accordingly.The default output format is an . Note that the name of an ESRI grid stack cannot start with a number, use spaces, or be more than 9 characters in length.
• If the input is a layer created from a multiband raster with more than three bands, the extraction operation will only consider the bands that were loaded (symbolized) by the layer. As a result, the output multiband raster can only have three bands, corresponding to those used in the display of the input layer.
• If the input raster is integer, the output raster will be integer. If the input is floating point, the output will be floating point.

Constructor Detail

ExtractByPoints

public ExtractByPoints()

Creates the Extract by Points tool with defaults.

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

ExtractByPoints

public ExtractByPoints(Object inRaster,
                       Object points,
                       Object outRaster)

Creates the Extract by Points 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:

inRaster - the input raster from which cells will be extracted.

points - a Python list of Point class objects denote the locations where values will be extracted from the raster. the point objects are specified in a list of x,y coordinate pairs. The form of the object is: the points are in the same map units as in_raster.

outRaster - the output raster containing the cell values extracted from the input raster.
