Convert Feature to Raster

This tool converts features to a raster dataset.

Any feature class containing point, line, or polygon features can be converted to a raster dataset.

The cell center is used to decide the value of the output raster pixel.

The input field type determines the type of output raster. If the field is integer, the output raster will be integer; if it is floating point, the output will be floating point.
