Summary
Multiplies the values of two rasters on a cell-by-cell basis.

Usage
Syntax
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_raster_or_constant1 |
The input containing the values to be multiplied. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer | Constant |
in_raster_or_constant2 |
The input containing the values by which the first input will be multiplied. A number can be used as an input for this parameter, provided a raster is specified for the other parameter. To be able to specify a number for both inputs, the cell size and extent must first be set in the environment. | Raster Layer | Constant |
Return Value
Name | Explanation | Data Type |
out_raster |
The output raster. The cell values are the product of the first input multiplied by the second. | Raster |
Code Sample
This example multiplies the values of an input elevation raster by a constant value to convert the elevation values from feet to meters.
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy.sa import *
env.workspace = "C:/sapyexamples/data"
outTimes = Times("elevation", "0.3048")
outTimes.save("C:/sapyexamples/output/outtimes")
