geoutils.Raster.astype

Raster.astype(dtype, convert_nodata=True, inplace=False)

Convert data type of the raster.

By default, converts the nodata value to the default of the new data type.

Parameters:

• dtype (Union[dtype[Any], None, type[Any], _SupportsDType[dtype[Any]], str, tuple[Any, int], tuple[Any, Union[SupportsIndex, Sequence[SupportsIndex]]], list[Any], _DTypeDict, tuple[Any, Any]]) – Any numpy dtype or string accepted by numpy.astype.

• convert_nodata (bool) – Whether to convert the nodata value to the default of the new dtype.

• inplace (bool) – Whether to modify the raster in-place.

Return type:

Optional[TypeVar(RasterType, bound= Raster)]

Returns:

Raster with updated dtype (or None if inplace).
