| # To Raster Converts vector data including points, polylines, and polygons to rasters. The pixel values that result will be based on the features that overlap with each pixel. This is the most common transform used to convert vector data to raster data. ## Content Tab ## Settings Tab Pixel Source: Defines where the values in the pixels will come from. Options include; drawing settings, count, and attribute values. Drawing settings will render the input layer into a raster in the same way it will draw it to the screen. Count will just count the number of vector features that overlap with each pixel. Attribute values will allow you to set pixels to statistics for the features that overlap with each pixel. The statistics include minimum, maximum, mean, sum, and standard deviation. Has Maks: Checked to have a mask added to the raster. Pixels that do not contain features will be transparent. Attribute: If "Attribute" is selected for the "Pixel Source", this setting will select the column with the attribute for the pixels. This should be a numeric column and not a date or string column. Statistic: The statistic for the attributes for features that overlap with each pixel. Pixel Reference Width: The width of pixels in the final raster. This value will determine the resolution of the raster with smaller values giving higher resolution rasters. Bounds: The boundary for the new raster. Changing "Set To" will set the boundary to an existing layer. Note: 1/2 a pixel reference width will be added around the points in the layer if it is a point layer.
