raster_tools.Vector.to_raster#

Vector.to_raster(like, field=None, all_touched=True)[source]#

Convert vector data to a raster.

Parameters

  • like (Raster) – A to use for grid and CRS information. The resulting raster will be on the same grid as like.

  • field (str, optional) – The name of a field to use for fill values when rasterizing the vector features.

  • all_touched (bool, optional) – If True, grid cells that the vector touches will be burned in. If False, only cells with a center point inside of the vector perimeter will be burned in.

Returns

The resulting raster. The result will have a single band. Each vector shape is assigned a 1-based integer value equal to its order in the original vector collection. This integer value is what is burned in at the corresponding grid cells. The dtype of the result will be the minimum, unsigned integer type that can fit the ID values. The null value is 0.

Return type
