This tool can be used to export a Whitebox GAT raster file to an ArcGIS floating-point grid file. This is the best way to get GAT raster files into ArcGIS. Floating-point grid files consist of a header file (.hdr) and data files (.flt). The user must specify the name of one or more Whitebox GAT raster files to be exported. The tool will create ArcGIS raster floating-point files (.hdr and .flt files) for each input file. Output file names are the same of the input files.
Use the Float to Raster tool in the Conversion Tools toolbox of ArcGIS to ingest the floating-point grid files into ArcGIS.
The following is an example of a Python script using this tool:
wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
# You may have multiple input files but they must
# be separated by semicolons in the string.
inputFiles = wd + "input1.dep" + ";" + wd + "input2.dep" + ";" + wd + "input3.dep"
args = [inputFiles]
pluginHost.runPlugin("ExportArcGrid", args, False)
This is a Groovy script also using this tool:
def wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
// You may have multiple input files but they must
// be separated by semicolons in the string.
def inputFiles = wd + "input1.dep" + ";" + wd + "input2.dep" + ";" + wd + "input3.dep"
String[] args = [inputFiles]
pluginHost.runPlugin("ExportArcGrid", args, false)
