This task retrieves the properties of an ENVIRaster. Although you can issue a PRINT command on an ENVIRaster to retrieve its properties, this task was designed for use within an image-processing script where you can create variables for the different properties.

Example


; Start the application
e = ENVI(/HEADLESS)
 
; Open an input file
File = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi', Subdir=['data'], $
  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Raster = e.OpenRaster(File)
 
; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks
Task = ENVITask('RasterProperties')
 
; Define inputs
Task.INPUT_RASTER = Raster
 
; Run the task
Task.Execute
 
; Get outputs
dataTypeName = Task.DATA_TYPE_NAME
dataTypeCode = Task.DATA_TYPE_CODE
nBands = Task.NBANDS
nColumns = Task.NCOLUMNS
nRows = Task.NROWS
spatialRef = Task.SPATIAL_REFERENCE
 
; Print the values to the IDL console
Print, dataTypeName
Print, dataTypeCode
Print nBands
Print, nColumns
Print, nRows
Print, spatialRef

Syntax


Result = ENVITask('RasterProperties')

Input properties (Set, Get): INPUT_RASTER

Output properties (Get only): DATA_TYPE_CODE, DATA_TYPE_NAME, NBANDS, NCOLUMNS, NROWS, SPATIAL_REFERENCE

Properties marked as "Set" are those that you can set to specific values. You can also retrieve their current values any time. Properties marked as "Get" are those whose values you can retrieve but not set.
