Polygons to raster

Algorithm

The Polygons to raster operation rasterizes a polygon map. The output raster map always uses the same domain as the input segment map. The user has to specify the georeference for the output raster map.

Process:

For each polygon, the corresponding pixels in the raster map are found; these pixels are assigned the class name, ID or value of the polygon.

Other pixels obtain the undefined value.
