Polygons to raster

Command line

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.
