Segments to raster

Dialog box

The Segments to raster operation rasterizes a segment map. The class names, IDs, or values in the segment map are also used in the raster map, i.e. the domain of the segment map is also the domain of the raster map. The user has to select or create a georeference for the output raster map.

Dialog box options:

Input segment map:

Select an input segment map. Open the list box and select the desired input map, or drag a segment map directly from the Catalog into this box.

Output raster map:

Type a name for the output raster map that will contain the rasterized segments.

Georeference:

Select an existing georeference for the output raster map; open the list box by clicking it. Or create a new georeference by clicking the little create button . You can usually select an existing georeference corners.

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.

Tip:

When you want to create a Digital Elevation Model, you can directly do the operation Contour Interpolation. Contour Interpolation first rasterizes your segment map, then calculates interpolated values for the pixels in between the contour lines.
