Tool Shrink and Expand
The tool allows one to shrink or expand regions with valid data by a certain distance (defined by the kernel radius). Shrinking just invalidates cells with valid data at the border to No Data regions, expanding sets No Data cells along the border of regions with valid data to a new valid value. The tool provides several options how to calculate this new value: minimum, maximum, mean or majority of the valid cells within the kernel.
