Exercise 5 - Preparing Raster Data for Analysis using Raster Lists and Loops.

Goal: For this exercise the primary goal was build off of the previous exercise and use tools such as project, clip and running basic analysis such as hillshade and slope while also using FOR IN loop.




Methods: For this exercise a new data set was downloaded. The exercise focused on the State of Oregon and was processed with strictly python. There were a number of commands used to accomplish the following, importing system modules, python modules, ArcGIS extensions, variable creation, raster lists, FOR IN loop, raster name formatting, projecting, clipping, hillshade creation, tile merges.




Results: The images below (Figure 1) show the code after it being debugged and ran successfully. Scripts like this are immensely effective if and when dealing with many rasters.
