Python for ArcGIS Pro
By :
ArcGIS API for Python (the arcgis module) also contains useful tools for raster layers and imagery layers. Used in combination with arcpy, it can allow you to store rasters or imagery in the cloud, pull down the rasters, perform analysis or a process on the rasters, and then put the rasters back into ArcGIS Online.
Much like arcpy, there are a ton of built-in functions for arcgis that enable you to interact with raster data. These functions allow you, for example, to get statistical properties of the raster such as mean or maximum or minimum cell value, or to perform mathematics on the cell values. Most of these functions are part of the raster subclass of arcgis and are available at arcgis.raster.functions.
In this example, we will load an imagery layer from the web into a map and save it to disk.
