Raster function (file)

Apply a raster function to a local raster file and display the output with a raster layer.

Use case

Raster functions allow processing operations that can be applied to one or more rasters on the fly. A land survey agency may apply hillshade and aspect functions to rasters with elevation data in order to better determine the topography of a landscape and to make further planning decisions.

How to use the sample

Load the sample to see a raster function applied to a raster.

How it works

  1. Create a RasterFunction using the path to a local raster function JSON file.
  2. Set the raster function arguments as required by the function used.
  3. Use the raster function to create a new Raster.
  4. Set the raster to a RasterLayer and display it in the Map.

About the data

The raster function in the provided JSON file blends a color image with a greyscale image (in this case, a raster image containing elevation data), to add a hillshade effect to the input raster.
