Returns a modified raster with the desired pixel data type. The dataType parameter accepts one of the following strings.
  • “D” - 64 bits Double
  • “F” - 32 bits Float
  • “I” - 32 bits signed Integer
  • “S” - 16 bits signed Short
  • “US” - 16 bits unsigned Short
  • “B” - 8 bits unsigned Byte
If the specified dataType is narrower than the original data type, the function will truncate the pixel values to fit the new data type range.
