Usage

Syntax

Divide_3d (in_raster_or_constant1, in_raster_or_constant2, out_raster)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_raster_or_constant1

The input whose values will be divided by the second input.

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 whose values the first input are to be divided by.

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
out_raster

The output raster.

The cell values are the quotient of the first input raster (dividend) divided by the second input (divisor).

Code Sample

Divide example 1 (Python window)

This example divides the values of the first input raster by the second.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C:/data"
arcpy.Divide_3d("degs", "negs", "C:/output/outdivide2")
Divide example 2 (stand-alone script)

This example divides the values of the first input raster by the second.
