The Polygons to raster operation can be directly executed by typing the following expression on the command line of the Main window:
OUTMAP |
= |
MapRasterizePolygon(InputPolygonMapName, Georeference) |
where:
OUTMAP |
is the name of your output raster map. |
MapRasterizePolygon |
is the command to start the Polygons to raster operation. |
InputPolygonMapName |
is the name of your input polygon map. |
Georeference |
is the name of an existing georeference that should be used for the output raster 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.
