I am using SetRaster properties with arcpy to quickly set the no data value of a raster.

import arcpy
import os

arcpy.SetRasterProperties_management("InputRaster", nodata = "1 0")

I also want to assign value 15 to nodata in my example, so that both values 0 and 15 are assigned no data. In the ArcGIS help for the tool (http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.4/tools/data-management-toolbox/set-raster-properties.htm) I found the following

If you want to define multiple NoData values for each band selection, use a space delimiter between each NoData value within the bands_for_nodata_value parameter.

I haven't found nodata = [[1, 0], [1, 15]] to be working. The reason why I would like to use SetRasterProperties is because it is way faster than for example SetNull. I am using ArcGIS 10.4.1.

  • have you tried nodata = [[1, 0 15]]... this based on: If you want to define multiple NoData values for each band selection, use a space delimiter between each NoData value within the bands_for_nodata_value parameter in the help files.

  • yes I tried, but this leaves me with a 'Syntax Error: Invalid syntax'.

The documentation is lacking, but this works:

arcpy.SetRasterProperties_management("InputRaster", nodata="1 0;1 15")

Alternatively, you could use a ValueTable with two columns:

vt = arcpy.ValueTable(2)
vt.addRow('1 0')
vt.addRow('1 15')
arcpy.SetRasterProperties_management("InputRaster", nodata=vt)

That said, I don't know if either will give you the results you want. It won't actually change the values within the raster. I think you should use Con:

import arcpy
arcpy.CheckOutExtension('SPATIAL')

in_raster = 'InputRaster'
where = 'Value not in (0, 15)'
raster = arcpy.sa.Con(in_raster, in_raster, where_clause=where)
raster.save('OutputRaster')
