RasterLayer class final

A layer that can visualize raster data (from a raster data source).

In its simplest form, raster data consists of a matrix of cells (or pixels) organized into rows and columns (or a grid) where each cell contains a value representing information. Raster layer can support these main types of raster data sources:

You can change how a raster layer is visualized by creating a RasterRenderer and applying it to the layer. Each raster layer supports identify on its individual cells when it is displayed in an ArcGISMapViewController or SceneView. The raster layer adopts the loadable pattern; many of its properties are initialized asynchronously. See Loadable for more information.

If a raster dataset has just one value associated with each cell it is called a single-band raster. For example, in a digital elevation model (DEM) each cell contains one value representing the elevation at that location.

A satellite image, however, commonly has multiple bands representing different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Landsat imagery, for example, contains seven bands that represent data from the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum. Rasters are particularly useful for remote sensing tasks, such as monitoring vegetation and seeing through smoke to analyze an active fire.

Raster datasets can be quite large. The size of the dataset depends on the following:

  • The geographic extent of the data
  • The size of the cells used (resolution)
  • The number of bands

As with any data consumed locally, file size can be an issue for storage as well as for transferring datasets over the network.
