Log10 (Spatial Analyst)
Summary
Calculates the base 10 logarithm of cells in a raster.
Illustration
 |
OutRas = Log10(InRas1) |
Usage
The input can be of integer or float type. See here for some examples of the outputs for floating point input values from the Logarithmic tools.
Input values that are 0 or negative will be NoData in the output raster.
The output raster from this tool is always floating point type, regardless of the input value type.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data 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
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
| out_raster |
The output raster. The cell values are the base 10 logarithm of the input values. | Raster |
Code Sample
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")
This example calculates base 10 logarithm of the input raster values.
