Usage

Syntax

BitwiseAnd (in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant1

The first input to use in this bitwise operation.

A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment.

Raster Layer | Constant
in_raster_or_constant2

The second input to use in this bitwise operation.

A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, 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 result of a Bitwise And operation on the two inputs.

Code Sample

BitwiseAnd example 1 (Python window)

This example performs a Bitwise And operation on two GRID rasters.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outBitwiseAnd = BitwiseAnd("degs", "negs")
outBitwiseAnd.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/bitand")
BitwiseAnd example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example performs a Bitwise And operation on two GRID rasters.
