| FunctionRasterDataset | A class for a function raster dataset. |
| RasterDataset | A representation of a raster dataset on disk. |
Remarks
This interface is not supported by a RasterDataset instance from an ArcSDE geodatabase or a File geodatabase.
Temporary raster datasets are created by most operations performed by the Spatial Analyst Extension and also can be created using IRasterWorkspace2::CreateRasterDataset method.
MakePermanent method change the status of a dataset from temporary to permanent. If the dataset is permanent, MakePermanent does nothing.
MakePermanentAs method makes the current dataset permanent by creating a new raster dataset that contains the same data. The current raster dataset will be deleted when all references to it are released. The supported output formats are same as ISaveAs.
