I'm trying to script the clipping of a large raster into tiles with simultaneous resampling. A script that includes these lines:
print 'Clipping to '+clipExtent
print arcpy.Describe(sourceGrid+'/Band_1').meanCellWidth
arcpy.env.cellSize = 1.0
print arcpy.env.cellSize
arcpy.Clip_management(sourceGrid,clipExtent,clippedGrid)
print arcpy.Describe(clippedGrid+'/Band_1').meanCellWidth
gives the following output (annotated):print arcpy.Describe(sourceGrid+'/Band_1').meanCellWidth
arcpy.env.cellSize = 1.0
print arcpy.env.cellSize
arcpy.Clip_management(sourceGrid,clipExtent,clippedGrid)
print arcpy.Describe(clippedGrid+'/Band_1').meanCellWidth
Clipping to 230000 3970000 240000 3980000
0.5 (sourceGrid cell size)
1 (arcpy.env.cellSize}
0.5 (clippedGrid cell size)
Why does Clip_management appear not to honor the arcpy.env.cellSize setting? What am I not understanding?0.5 (sourceGrid cell size)
1 (arcpy.env.cellSize}
0.5 (clippedGrid cell size)
