Creates and initializes a single-precision floating-point raster from the content of a binary file.
handle_ras = CreateRasterFromBinary ( binfile , TYPE [, name] )
character string: path of the binary file to be read. The extension can be anything, but a header file with the same root and with the extension ".hdr" must be present in the same directory.
character string: type of the data to be read and converted to single-precision
'c' : char
'uc' : unsigned char
's' : short int
'us' : unsigned short int
'i' : int
'ui' : unsigned int
'f' : float
'l' : long int
'ul' : unsigned long int
'd' : double
(optional) character string
integer: handle on the newly created raster
Creates and initializes a single-precision floating-point raster from a binary file (e.g., ESRI Binary Grid .flt). Any numerical type is supported and will be converted to single precision.
Returns a handle on the object created.
