I have a layer that describe rainfall for 10 years. Now I want to interpolate the area in ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) 10.7. As you know I should define some point on my area to extract the rainfall from the Layer.

How should I define these points i.e. in the center of pixels or more?

This is my Layer and a closed Border:

    Why do you want to interpolate? You already have rainfall surfaces.

  • Thanks, I want to smooth the colors. as you there are many squares in the Layer (bcoz the resolution is 0.25"x0.25").

Use the Resample tool and specify bilinear or cubic as the resampling type.

If your objective is just to smooth the colors, then no need to resample the data. You should only use resample during display feature in Display tab within Layer Properties window, and choose Bilinear Interpolation, instead of Nearest Neighbor as the default.
