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
- Create a
RasterFunctionusing the path to a local raster function JSON file. - Set the raster function arguments as required by the function used.
- Use the raster function to create a new
Raster. - Set the raster to a
RasterLayerand display it in theMap.
Relevant API
- Raster
- RasterFunction
- RasterLayer
Offline Data

| Link | Local Location |
|---|---|
| Shasta.tif raster | <userhome>/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data/raster/Shasta_Elevation.tif |
| color.json raster function | <userhome>/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data/raster/color.json |
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.
