All Implemented Interfaces:

GPTool

public class RasterCompare
extends AbstractGPTool

Compares the properties of two raster datasets or two raster catalogs and returns the comparison result. The Raster Compare tool is contained in the Data Management Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The tool returns messages showing the comparison result.
• The parameter and attribute tolerances allow your comparisons to have a specified amount of leeway.
• For Python syntax, you will need to open the tool dialog to view a list of values for the Ignore Options parameter. Your Compare Type will determine which Ignore Options are valid.

getParameterTolerances

public Object getParameterTolerances()

Returns the Parameter Tolerance parameter of this tool . This parameter is the Parameter Tolerance allows you to compare your parameter values with some leeway on accuracy. This allows you to account for any slight changes that might have occurred in processing your data. for a list of Parameter types, choose the parameters for which you would like to have a tolerance. For each parameter you will need a tolerance and tolerance type. The tolerance type is either the value of the tolerance or a fraction of it. When using the fraction type, the fraction is based on the base value; therefore, the tolerance value for comparison would be the fraction times the base value. For example, if your base value is 100 and you set the fraction tolerance to 0.00001, the compare tolerance will be 100 * 0.00001 = 0.001 This is an optional parameter.
