ESRI TIN to Raster

Open Table of Contents ToolBox Implementation

Converts an ESRI TIN to a raster

Inputs:

  • An ESRI TIN
  • Output raster name and format
  • Cell Size of the output raster

Output

  • A floating point raster.

Notes:

  • Initially the name of the output raster defines the raster format
    • no extension specified - ESRI binary GRID
    • .img extension (for example raster1.img) - ERDAS IMAGINE image.
    • .tif extension (for example raster1.tif - Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image.
  • The initial output raster format can be changed by selecting the desired output in the dialog.
  • Currently only file based rasters are supported. Rasters cannot be stored in a GeoDatabase. After you get the desired result, you can export the raster to a GeoDatabase using the standard ArcGIS tools.
  • The input TIN must be in a projected coordinate system

Command line syntax

ETS_GPEsriTINToRaster<Input TIN>  <Out Raster> <Cell Size>

Parameters

Expression Explanation
<Input Raster> An ESRI TIN dataset or layer
<Out Raster> A String - the full name of the output raster (A raster with the same full name should not exist). The output raster type depends on the extension of the output file(see Notes above)
<Cell Size> A Double representing the cell size of the output raster.

Scripting syntax

ETS_GPEsriTINToRaster(Input TIN,  Out Raster, Cell Size)
