</span>Hi Sean,<br>
<br>
OK I now understand what you meant. The warper in general in GDAL (so not <br>
specific to the VRT warping) can use the mask of the input dataset, but <br>
doesn't generate one in output. However it should be able to generate an alpha <br>
band if you call GDALCreateWarpedVRT() with psOptions->nDstAlphaBand = 4 <br>
(couldn't test easily, but hopefully should work)<br>
