[gdal-dev] gdal_rasterize usage problems

[Roger André]

Andrew,

I believe your syntax is incorrect.  Assuming that you are trying to exclude
water from your image, it should be something like this:
% gdal_rasterize -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 -i -burn 0 -burn 0 -burn 0 -l gshhs_land
gshhs_land.shp warped.tif

Have a look at http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html for a list of all the
options.
