                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException

Generates a reduced resolution version of a raster.

Remarks

raster	an input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor
cellFactor	a factor to multiply the cell size of the input Raster to obtain the desired resolution for the output Raster A cellFactor of 3 would result in an output cell size that is three times larger than the input raster’s cell size. The cellFactor must be an integer greater than one.
aggregationType	establishes how the value for each output cell will be determined The output value for each cell can be the sum (esriGeoAnalysisStatsSum), minimum (esriGeoAnalysisStatsMinimum), maximum (esriGeoAnalysisStatsMaximum), mean (esriGeoAnalysisStatsMean), or median (esriGeoAnalysisStatsMedian) value of the input cells that the coarser output cell will encompass.
expandExtent	a Boolean defining how to handle the boundaries of the input raster when its rows and/or columns are not a multiple of the cellFactor If the number of rows and columns in the input raster is a multiple of the cellFactor this Boolean will not be applied. A True for the Boolean will expand the bottom and/or right boundaries of the input raster so that the total number of cells in a row and/or column is a multiple of the cellFactor. Expanded cells are given a value of NoData. With a True Boolean, the output raster can cover a larger spatial extent than the input raster. A False for the Boolean will reduce the number of rows and/or columns in the output raster by one. This will truncate the remaining cells on the bottom and/or right boundaries of the input raster, making the number of rows and/or columns in the input raster a multiple of the cellFactor. With this option, the output raster can cover a smaller spatial extent than the input raster.
ignoreNoData	a Boolean that if True dictates that if a NoData value exists for any of the cells that fall within the spatial extent of a larger cell on the output raster, then the NoData value will be ignored when determining the value for that output cell location Only input cells within the output cell’s extent that have data values will be used in determining the value of the output cell. If False, then any cell that falls within the spatial extent of a larger cell on the output raster that has a value of NoData, the value for that output cell location will be NoData. When the Boolean is True, it is implied that when cells within an aggregation contain the NoData value, there is insufficient information to perform the specified calculations necessary to determine an output value.

                                 AutomationException

Smoothes the boundary between zones by expanding and shrinking the boundary.

Remarks

raster	an input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor
sortType	specifies the type of sorting. This determines the priority of the cells to expand into their neighbors. There are three different ways to sort, esriGeoAnalysisSortAscending, esriGeoAnalysisSortDescending, and esriGeoAnalysisSortNone. esriGeoAnalysisSortAscending sorts zones in ascending order by size. Zones with smaller total areas have a higher priority to expand into zones with] larger total areas. esriGeoAnalysisSortDesending sorts zones in descending order by size. Zones with larger total areas have a higher priority to expand into zones with smaller total areas. esriGeoAnalysisSortNone does no sorting by size. Zones with larger values have a higher priority to expand into zones with smaller values.
runTwice	a Boolean that specifies the number of directions in which the expansion and shrinking will take place. If True, the expansion and shrinking is performed according to the sorting type, then does an additional shrinking and expansion with the priority reversed. If False, the expansion and shrinking is performed once, according to sorting type.

                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

Records for each cell in the output, the identity of the connected region to which it belongs.

Remarks

raster	An input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor whose cells define the zone values to be regrouped
useDiagonalNeighbors	Defines the manner in which to evaluate connectivity between cells If True, the connectivity between cells of the same value if they are within the immediate eight-cell neighborhood (eight nearest neighbors) of each other will be used. This includes if they are to the right or left, above or below, or are diagonal to each other. If False, the connectivity between cells of the same value only if the cells are directly to the right or left, or above or below each other—the four nearest neighbors will be used. If two cells with the same value are diagonal from one another, they are not considered connected
withinZones	Defines the requirement of which cell values should be considered when testing for connectivity If True, will test for the connectivity between input values that are the same within the same zone. The only cells that can be grouped are cells from the same zone (the same value) and that meet the spatial requirements of connectivity specified by useDiagonalNeighbors Boolean. If False, will test the connectivity by the spatial requirements specified by the useDiagonalNeighbors Boolean between cells with any values except for the excluded value identified by the argument excludedValue if one is specified. A value for the excludedValue argument must be input when withinZones Boolean is False.
createLinkField	Defines if a Link item is added to the value attribute table of the output Raster If True, an item Link will be added to the table of the output Raster. The Link item stores the original values for each newly created zone (created from disconnected regions) from the input Raster before they were regrouped. If False, the table for the output Raster will only contain the items Value and Count.
[excludedValue]	Identifies a value such that if a cell location contains the value, no spatial connectivity will be evaluated no matter what the Boolean is for the useDiagonalNeighbors Cells with the excluded value will be treated as NoData and are eliminated from calculations. Cell locations that contain an excluded value will receive zero for the location on the output Raster. The excluded value is similar to the concept of a background value or setting a mask for a single function with the Options dialog. It is particularly useful in conjunction with a False value for within Zones.

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Thins rasterized linear features by reducing the number of pixels representing the width of the features.

Remarks

raster	an input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor to be thinned
BackgroundIsNoData	a Boolean that specifies the cell values that will identify the foreground cells The Raster is viewed as a set of foreground cells and background cells. Foreground cells form the linear features to be converted to vectors. If True, all cells with valid values belong to the foreground. All cells whose Value is NoData belong to the background. If False, all cells whose Value is greater than zero belong to the foreground. All cells whose Value is less or equal to zero or NoData will belong to the background.
filterData	specifies whether or not a filter will be applied as the first phase of thinning If True, the Raster will be filtered to smooth the boundaries between foreground and background cells. This option will eliminate minor irregularities from the out Raster. If False, no filter will be applied.
roundCorners	a Boolean that specifies whether round or sharp turns will be made at turns or junctions It is also used during the vector conversion process to spline curves or create sharp intersections and corners. If True, attempts to smooth corners and junctions. This is best for vectorizing natural features such as contours or streams. If False, attempts to preserve rectangular corners and junctions. This is best for vectorizing man-made features such as streets.
[maxThickness]	the maximum thickness, in map units, of linear features in the input grid A commonly used thickness is 10 times the cell size.
