4.4.15. Vector to raster¶

This tab allows for the conversion of a vector to raster format.

4.4.15.1. Convert vector to raster ¶

Select the vector : select a vector already loaded in QGIS;
: refresh layer list;
Use the value field of the vector : if checked, the selected field is used as attribute for the conversion; pixels of the output raster have the same values as the vector attribute;
Use constant value : if checked, the polygons are converted to raster using the selected constant value;
Select the type of conversion : select the type of conversion between Center of pixels and All pixels touched:
- Center of pixels: during the conversion, vector is compared to the reference raster; output raster pixels are attributed to a polygon if pixel center is within that polygon;
- All pixels touched: during the conversion, vector is compared to the reference raster; output raster pixels are attributed to a polygon if pixel touches that polygon;
Select the reference raster : select a reference raster; pixels of the output raster have the same size and alignment as the reference raster;
: refresh layer list;
Same extent as reference raster: the output raster will have the same extent as reference raster;
BATCH : add this function to the Batch;
RUN : choose the output destination and start the conversion to raster;
