Some general examples¶

in-memory vector object rasterization¶

Here we create a new raster data set with the same geo-information and extent as a reference data set
and burn the geometries from a shapefile into it.
In this example, the shapefile contains an attribute Site_name and one of the geometries in the shapefile has a
value of my_testsite for this attribute.
We use the expressions parameter to subset the shapefile and burn a value of 1 in the raster at all locations
where the geometry selection overlaps. Multiple expressions can be defined together with multiple burn values.
Also, burn values can be appended to an already existing raster data set. In this case, the rasterization is
performed in-memory to further use it for e.g. plotting. Alternatively, an outname can be defined to directly write
the result to disk as a GeoTiff.
See spatialist.raster.rasterize() for further reference.
