Description

Converts a vector containing points into a raster.

Usage

wbt_vector_points_to_raster(
  input,
  output,
  field = "FID",
  assign = "last",
  nodata = TRUE,
  cell_size = NULL,
  base = NULL,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

Input vector Points file.

output

Output raster file.

field

Input field name in attribute table.

assign

Assignment operation, where multiple points are in the same grid cell; options include 'first', 'last' (default), 'min', 'max', 'sum', 'number'.

nodata

Background value to set to NoData. Without this flag, it will be set to 0.0.

cell_size

Optionally specified cell size of output raster. Not used when base raster is specified.

base

Optionally specified input base raster file. Not used when a cell size is specified.

wd

Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.

verbose_mode

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.

compress_rasters

Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.

command_only

Return command that would be executed by system() rather than running tool. Default: FALSE.

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.
