Mirror (Data Management)

Summary

Reorients the raster by flipping it, from left to right, along the vertical axis through the center of the raster.

Illustration

Usage

• Mirror flips the raster from left to right along the vertical axis through the center of the region.

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

• When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression type and Compression Quality within the Environment Settings.

Syntax

Mirror_management (in_raster, out_raster)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster	Input raster dataset.	Raster Layer
out_raster	Output raster dataset. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension: .bil—ESRI BIL .bip—ESRI BIP .bmp—BMP .bsq—ESRI BSQ .dat—ENVI DAT .gif—GIF .img—ERDAS IMAGINE file .jpg—JPEG .jp2—JPEG 2000 .png—PNG .tif—TIFF no extension—ESRI GRID When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset. When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, a TIFF file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a compression type and compression quality.	Raster Dataset
