Exp (Spatial Analyst)
Summary
Calculates the base e exponential of the cells in a raster.
Illustration
 |
OutRas = Exp(InRas1) |
Usage
Input values can be integer or float, and can be negative as well as positive.
See here for some examples of the outputs for floating point input values from the Exponential tools.
-
The base e exponential is the most commonly used exponential function.
-
Input values less than or equal to -745 will be set to NoData in the output, because these values cannot be accurately represented by 32-bit floating-point numbers.
The output raster from this tool is always floating point type, regardless of the input value type.
Output values from this tool are always positive.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant |
The input values for which to find the base e exponential. In order to use a number as an input for this parameter, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer | Constant |
Return Value
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
| out_raster |
The output raster. The cell values are the base e exponential of the input values. | Raster |
Code Sample
This example calculates the base e exponential of the input raster values, and returns the result as a TIFF raster.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outExp = Exp("landuse")
outExp.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outexp.tif")
This example calculates the base e exponential of the input raster values.
