Hi Team,

 

I'm having an issue on having black background on tiff image created by ia.Merge using arcpy.

I want the black part to be transparent just like output data when I use sa.Reclassify(raster, "Value", remap, "NODATA")

Never mind, I found solution by myself using,

nodata_value parameter let you specify a value what to change into NoData and it will make the background transparent

I had to deal with something similar the other day. What worked for me was going into the symbology pane for the raster layer and changing the value under the "mask" menu:

Thanks for the advise @Katherine_Clark 
However, I would like to know how to do it by using arcpy libraries because I'm building an automation process by python script.

Do you might have any ideas?
