I'm using ArcGIS 9.3


What I'm trying to do is compare 2 rasters and put the values in a regression-like graph. My approach has been to do a Raster to Point conversion on one layer, then Extract Values to Points to pull off the data from the other raster. However, the data I'm using tends to be small decimals (i.e. 0.234E-5 ). When I go to do the Raster to point conversion, the resulting points have only 4 zeroes, making the rest of my data disappear. Is there an easy way to increase the number of decimal points available?

Try multiplying both rasters by say 10000 or a number that will work with your data so that you have whole integers (i.e. no decimal). Then compare... You can do this with the  multiply tool, or raster calculator. Does that help?
