Mathematical Calculations

You can perform mathematical calculations on
grids to modify or filter the information in a
single grid or generate new grids from two or
more existing grids.
In this example, the units of an elevation grid
are converted from meters to feet. This
involves multipling every cell in the grid by a
conversion factor.

A more complex example is the normalization of grid values to
a specific range, such as between one and zero. This is useful when you want to determine the relationship between two
datasets that have different units as well as a different range of values, for example, elevated blood lead levels and average
family income.
