The Points to raster operation can be directly executed by typing the following expression on the command line of the Main window:
OUTMAP |
= |
MapRasterizePoint(InputPointMapName, Georeference, Point size) |
where:
OUTMAP |
is the name of your output raster map. |
MapRasterizePoint |
is the command to start the Points to raster operation. |
InputPointMapName |
is the name of your input point map. |
Georeference |
is the name of an existing georeference that should be used for the output raster map. |
Point size |
is the size of the points in pixels in the output map (integer > 0). Point size 1 means each point is represented by 1 pixel in the output map. Point size 2 means that each point is represented by 2*2 pixels in the output map. |
When the definition symbol = is used, a dependent output map is created; when the assignment symbol := is used, the dependency link is immediately broken after the output map has been calculated.
Tip:
In a script, you can prepare a georeference corners before rasterizing by using the crgrf command. See Appendices : ILWIS script language.
