Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to use ArcPy to read rasters into memory or create new rasters, and to save the result. You learned how to read the raster properties for both the cell values and the geographic values. You also learned how to use the sa module to access Spatial Analyst tools, and to perform operations on the rasters to create Slope or Hillshade rasters. You also reviewed the uses of arcgis.raster to get data from the web and save it locally.
In the next chapter, you will learn about the NumPy module and how it is used with arrays and Notebooks to process raster data quickly for statistical analysis.
