Method Detail

createRaster

IRaster createRaster()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Creates an empty raster.

Remarks

An empty raster means that properties of the Raster are not defined. The width, height, and the number of bands of the raster are all 0. It can not be used before populating pixels to it.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRaster

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

createFullRaster

IRaster createFullRaster()
                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException

Creates a raster containing all bands in this raster dataset.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRaster

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Indicates whether the raster dataset is empty.

Remarks

An empty raster means that properties of the Raster are not defined. The width, height, and the number of bands of the raster are all 0. It can not be used before populating pixels to it.

Co-create a Raster and IRasterDataset2::CreateRaster create an empty raster.

IRasterBandCollection::AppendBands or AppendBand allows you to populate this raster.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The isEmpty

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
