Raster Function Editor

The Raster Function Editor is a visual programming interface in ArcGIS that allows you to build and customize raster analysis workflows.

Raster function editor

What can you do?

  • Chain together sequences of raster functions, where the output of one function serves as the input to the next function.
  • Add raster functions, raster variables, scalars, raster layers, and other data types to the diagram, and connect them to perform complex raster analysis.
  • Save diagrams as raster function templates (RFTs) to share with other members of your organization.
  • RFTs can be shared and used across ArcGIS products like ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS as well as through Client APIs.
  • Preview results of the function change before generating new output datasets.
  • Iteratively check and modify function parameters, rename functions/variables for clarity, and organize the layout of the processing diagram.
