ATanH (Spatial Analyst)

Summary

Calculates the inverse hyperbolic tangent of cells in a raster.

Illustration

OutRas = ATanH(InRas)

Usage

• In mathematics, all Trigonometric functions have a defined range of valid input values, called the domain. The output values from each function also has a defined range. For this tool:

  • The Domain is : -1 < [in_value] < 1

    Note that any input value that is outside this domain will receive NoData on the output raster.

  • The Range is : -∞ < [out_value] < ∞

  Note that here -∞ and ∞ represent the smallest negative and largest positive value supported by the particular raster format, respectively.

• The input and output values in ATanH are interpreted as unitless.

• Output values are always floating point, regardless of the input data type.

Syntax

ATanH (in_raster_or_constant)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster_or_constant	The input for which to calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent values. 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 values are the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the input values.	Raster

Code Sample

ATanH example 1 (Python window)

This example calculates the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the values in the input GRID raster.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outATanH = ATanH("degs")
outATanH.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outatanh")

ATanH example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example calculates the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the values in the input GRID raster.
