[Gdal-dev] how gdal_rasterize works

[Luke Roth]

I've been trying to use the polygon rasterization functions in 
alg/gdalrasterize.cpp for a while now, but I just can't get it to do 
what I want.  I've been using apps/gdal_rasterize.exe to rasterize an 
entire vector layer, but what I'd really like to do is to rasterize 
individual polygons from my C code without having to run 
gdal_rasterize.exe for each individual feature.  I've tried using the 
apps/gdal_rasterize.cpp code as a template, but I'm not getting 
anywhere.  Can anyone who has used this code give me a simple 
walkthrough or nudge me in the right direction?  I can give more details 
if it would help.

Thanks,
Luke
