ST_AddBand — Returns a raster with the new band(s) of given type added with given initial value in the given index location. If no index is specified, the band is added to the end.
(1) raster ST_AddBand(
raster rast, addbandarg[] addbandargset)
;
(2) raster ST_AddBand(
raster rast, integer index, text pixeltype, double precision initialvalue=0, double precision nodataval=NULL)
;
(3) raster ST_AddBand(
raster rast, text pixeltype, double precision initialvalue=0, double precision nodataval=NULL)
;
(4) raster ST_AddBand(
raster torast, raster fromrast, integer fromband=1, integer torastindex=at_end)
;
(5) raster ST_AddBand(
raster torast, raster[] fromrasts, integer fromband=1, integer torastindex=at_end)
;
(6) raster ST_AddBand(
raster rast, integer index, text outdbfile, integer[] outdbindex, double precision nodataval=NULL)
;
(7) raster ST_AddBand(
raster rast, text outdbfile, integer[] outdbindex, integer index=at_end, double precision nodataval=NULL)
;
Returns a raster with a new band added in given position (index), of given type, of given initial value, and of given nodata value. If no index is specified, the band is added to the end. If no fromband
is specified, band 1 is assumed. Pixel type is a string representation of one of the pixel types specified in ST_BandPixelType. If an existing index is specified all subsequent bands >= that index are incremented by 1. If an initial value greater than the max of the pixel type is specified, then the initial value is set to the highest value allowed by the pixel type.
For the variant that takes an array of addbandarg (Variant 1), a specific addbandarg's index value is relative to the raster at the time when the band described by that addbandarg is being added to the raster. See the Multiple New Bands example below.
For the variant that takes an array of rasters (Variant 5), if torast
is NULL then the fromband
band of each raster in the array is accumulated into a new raster.
For the variants that take outdbfile
(Variants 6 and 7), the value must include the full path to the raster file. The file must also be accessible to the postgres server process.
Enhanced: 2.1.0 support for addbandarg added.
Enhanced: 2.1.0 support for new out-db bands added.
