Release 9.2

Print all topics in : "Tools" |
Allows you to add a color map to a raster dataset, if it does not already exist. If the color map already exists, it will replace the color map with the one specified.
Usage tips
-
This tool allows you to either create or update a color map table for a raster dataset.
-
The color map, from a raster dataset, that already exists will be applied to the input raster dataset.
-
This tool will not work when the colormap is internally stored in the attribute table of an IMG or TIFF dataset. If the attribute table contains the fields "Red", "Green", and "Blue", that means this tool cannot be used.
-
The following environment setting affects this tool: current workspace.
