Points to raster

Command line

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.
