get and display single cell raster value

[FrancoisGilbert]

Hello,

I have an application that display precipitation forecast for the comming days. From my mouse coordinate that I know, is there a way for me to retreive the value of a raster cell that would represent the precipitation at a certain point. That would be like an identify task but for a raster layer.

It sounds like a simple question.

using the WPF SDK you would need to make a GPK that gets the value from your raster (TIFF) file. But yes, it is possible.

Hi,

Bjorn's correct, you can use the geoprocessing tool GetCellValue within a geoprocessing package (GPK) in the ArcGIS Runtime LocalServer (either written as a Model or a Python Script. I suggest running it as a LocalGeoprocessingService of type Execute because it should be a fast operation and does not require the overhead of monitoring progress via the SubmitJob type.

Hello,

So the gpk is one alternative. If my time serie raster data that is stored in a mosaic dataset as a map package, I wonder if it is possible to use the class 'ImageServiceIdentifyTask' instead of the gpk tool. I do not know if 'ImageServiceIdentifyTask' tool wil work with a time enabled mosaic dataset.
