Raster to points

Dialog box

The Raster to points operation extracts a point from each pixel in the raster map. Each point gets the value, class name or ID of the corresponding pixel.

No points are created for pixels with the undefined value.

Dialog box options:

Input raster map:

Select an input raster map. Open the list box and select the desired input map, or drag a raster map directly from the Catalog into this box. The raster map must have a georeference which is not georeference None.

Output point map:

Type a name for the output point map that will contain the values of pixels as points.

Description:

Optionally, type a description for the output map. The description will appear in the status bar of the Main window when moving the mouse pointer over the map in a Catalog, and in the title bar of a map window when the output map is displayed. If no description is supplied, the output map will use its own definition as description.

When you click the Show button, the dependent output map will be defined, calculated and shown. When you click the Define button, the dependent output map will only be defined; if necessary, the map will be calculated later, for instance when the map is opened to be displayed.
