Raster To Other Format (Conversion)

Summary

Converts one or more raster dataset formats supported by ArcGIS to a BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, ENVI DAT, GIF, GRID, ERDAS IMAGINE, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG TIFF, or to a geodatabase raster dataset format.

Usage

• You can save your output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, GIF, GRID, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, or any geodatabase raster dataset.

Syntax

RasterToOtherFormat_conversion (Input_Rasters, Output_Workspace, {Raster_Format})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
Input_Rasters [Input_Rasters,...]	The input raster datasets that you wish to convert.	Raster Dataset
Output_Workspace	The location where converted raster datasets will be stored.	Workspace ;Raster Catalog
Raster_Format (Optional)	The format of the output raster dataset. BIL —ESRI Band Interleaved by Line file. BIP —ESRI Band Interleaved by Pixel file. BMP —Bitmap graphic raster dataset format. BSQ —ESRI Band Sequential file. DAT —ENVI DAT file GIF —Graphic Interchange Format for raster datasets GRID —ESRI's GRID raster dataset format IMAGINE Image —ERDAS IMAGINE raster data format JP2000 —JPEG 2000 raster dataset format JPEG —Joint Photographic Experts Group raster dataset format PNG —Portable Network Graphic raster dataset format TIFF —Tag Image File Format for raster datasets	String

Code Sample

RasterToOtherFormats example 1 (Python window)

This sample converts several input rasters of different formats and outputs them as rasters all of the same format.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "c:/data/PrjWorkspace/RasGP"
arcpy.RasterToOtherFormat_conversion("test.tif;test2.tif;test3.tif",\
                                     "OtherFormat","BIL")

RasterToOtherFormats example 2 (stand-alone script)

This sample converts several input rasters of different formats and outputs them as rasters all of the same format..
