raster calculator on the raster file having 17 values

[Chang-HengYang]

Hi All,

I want to use the Raster Calculator to process the raster with 17 different values (Please see the attached file). I want to multiply each raster value (from 1 to 17) by different values. Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks,

Hank

Is there some pattern to the values you want to multiply, or somewhat random? If a pattern, you can potentially build a map algebra expression to handle all cases, if random, you may want the Reclassify tool, but it really depends on exactly what you want.

Save us some time and post what you've tried, or at least, provide more information on your specific requirements.

Q   Multiplication has a synonym ... what is it?

Hello Chang,

You might like to use conditional statements in Raster Calculator

e.g. In case of random values

Con([raster1]=1, [raster1]*n1, (Con([raster1]=2, [raster1]*n2, (Con([raster1]=3, [raster1]*n3, (........(Con([raster1]=17, [raster1]*n17)))))))))))))))))

where raster1: name of the input raster

          n1...n17: values (You could also write another expression in n1, if required)

Hi all,

Thank you for your all responses.

value 2: 0.4615

value 3: 3.2754 

value 4: 0.5548

value 5: 2.4472

value 6: 4.9880

value 7: 5.9763

value 8: 4.0460

value 9: 0.1981

value 10: 3.1018

value 11: -1.2635

value 12: 2.5069

value 13: 2.9155

value 14: 0.7207

value 15: 1.4548

value 16: 0.5179

value 17: 1.1133

If I want to use the con in the raster calculator. please let me know if my formula is correct.

assuming the raster of interest is named as raster

con([raster]=2, [raster]*0.4615,

   con ([raster]=3, [raster]*3.2754,

   con([raster]=4, [raster]*0.5548,

   con([raster]=5, [raster]*2.4472,

   con ([raster]=6, [raster]*4.9880,

   con([raster]=7, [raster]*5.9763,

   con([raster]=8, [raster]*4.0460,

con ([raster]=9, [raster]*0.1981,

   con([raster]=10, [raster]*3.1018,

   con([raster]=11, [raster]*-1.2635,

con ([raster]=12, [raster]*2.5069,

   con([raster]=13, [raster]*2.9155,

   con([raster]=14, [raster]*0.7207,

con ([raster]=15, [raster]*1.4548,

   con([raster]=16, [raster]*0.5179,

   con([raster]=17, [raster]*1.1133))))))))))))))))

However, I get the error message, ERROR 000539: Runtime error DyntaxError: keyword can not have an expression

Please let me know how I fix this error.

Thanks,

Changheng

Try this!

con([raster]==2, [raster]*0.4615, (con([raster]==3, [raster]*3.2754, (con([raster]==4, [raster]*0.5548, (con([raster]==5, [raster]*2.4472, (con([raster]==6, [raster]*4.9880, (con([raster]==7, [raster]*5.9763, (con([raster]==8, [raster]*4.0460, (con([raster]==9, [raster]*0.1981, (con([raster]==10, [raster]*3.1018, (con([raster]==11, [raster]*(-1.2635), (con([raster]==12, [raster]*2.5069, (con([raster]==13, [raster]*2.9155, (con([raster]==14, [raster]*0.7207, (con([raster]==15, [raster]*1.4548, (con([raster]==16, [raster]*0.5179, (con([raster]==17, [raster]*1.1133))))))))))))))))

Change all = to ==, and of course, change [raster] to the name of your raster.

Thanks Darren,

Changed the script above accordingly. Missed it earlier

Two tricks

1. no []

2. use ==

Thank you all the efforts.
