OutRas = Log10(InRas1)

Usage

Syntax

Log10 (in_raster_or_constant)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant

Input values for which to find the base 10 logarithm.

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

NameExplanationData Type
out_raster

The output raster.

The cell values are the base 10 logarithm of the input values.

Code Sample

Log10 example 1 (Python window)

This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values and generates the output as an IMG raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outLog10 = Log10("elevation")
outLog10.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outlog10.img")
Log10 example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values.
