I’m using version 2.2, and I’m trying to convert a point data layer into a raster data layer using the Rasterize tool. The point data layer has an integer field with a value of 1 for all records, and I want to make a raster data layer which has a value of one for each cell which has at least one point in it (some cells have more than one point in them). When I use the Rasterize tool, it creates the raster data layer fine, but all cells with have points in them appear to have a value of 0.995968. I’ve tried editing the gdal code (even making the resulting raster data layer an integer layer), but I still cannot get it to produce a raster with a value of 1 rather than just a number very close to one. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Does anyone have any suggestions of where I might be going wrong and/or how to solve this issue?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>On a related note, is it possible to use the Rasterize tool to work out the average or total values for all the points which fall in each grid cell? If so, how (I can’t find anything in the gdal instructions themselves which would suggest this is possible, but I might be missing something). If this isn’t possible to do with the Rasterize tool, are there other tools in QGIS which can do this?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Thanks for any help anyone can give on this.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>All the best,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Colin<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>==================================================================================<br>GIS IN ECOLOGY - Providing Training, Advice And Consultancy On The Use Of GIS In Ecology<br><br>Web: <a href="http://www.GISinEcology.com">www.GISinEcology.com</a> Email: <a href="mailto:info@GISinEcology.com">info@GISinEcology.com</a><br><br>Need to ask a question about using GIS?
