Apply an RGB renderer to a raster layer to enhance feature visibility.
Use case
An RGB renderer is used to adjust the color bands of a multispectral image. Remote sensing images acquired from satellites often contain values representing the reflection of multiple spectrums of light. Changing the RGB renderer of such rasters can be used to differentiate and highlight particular features that reflect light differently, such as different vegetation types, or turbidity in water.
How to use the sample
Choose one of the stretch parameter types. The other options will adjust based on the chosen type. Add your inputs and select the 'Update' button to update the renderer.
How it works
Create a Raster
from a from a multispectral raster file.
Create a RasterLayer
from the raster.
Create a Basemap
from the raster layer and set it to the map.
Create an RGBRenderer
, specifying the StretchParameters
and other properties.
Set the Renderer
on the raster layer with rasterLayer.renderer = renderer
.
