Remarks

Merge only work with single band images. It is recomended to use MosaicRaster object, which handles both single band and multiple band images,to perform merge operation.

The Merge method combines multiple adjacent single band raster datasets into a single output raster dataset. Merge determines the value of an overlapping output cell from the last NoData cell input of the input rasters.

The ipRaster is a Raster object that contains two or more bands, and the Merge operation combines all the bands of this raster into a single band raster dataset on disk.

Passing Nothing to the ipSR will result in an output with an unknown spatial reference.

The OutRasterFormat can only be one of the following formats. The format strings used for the supported formats are below, and they are case sensitive:
