Convert raster to txt in XYZ format

Question

Hello friends,

I need to convert a raster to a txt file but XYZ format.
*
ASCII TO RASTER tool does not help because it does in another format.

Know if there are processes supported by python can do?

Thank you very much for your help.

You can determine the x,y,z dimensions using Raster, as described here.

You can iterate over the dimensions and get the cell values, as described here.

You can write to a file like this:f = 'D:\temp\test.txt'
with open(f, 'w') as fObj:
  fObj.write('x, y, z
')
  for i in range(10):
    fObj.write('%f, %f, %f
 % (i, i, i))

So, your overall code might be something like (have not tested):outTxt = 'D:\temp\test.txt'
inRasFP = 'D:\temp\raster.img'
inRas = arcpy.Raster(inRasFP)
extent = inRas.extent
with open(outTxt, 'w') as fObj:
  fObj.write('x, y, z
') # only if you want a header in the text file
  for x in range(extent.XMin, extent.XMax):
    for y in range(extent.YMin, extent.YMax):
      fObj.write('%i, %i, %f
 % (x, y, arcpy.GetCellValue_management(inRasFP, "%i %i" % (x, y))))
