[Mohammed Rashad]

How to convert shapefile to a raster image using gdal

I tried
gdal_rasterize -burn 255 -burn 0 -burn 0 -ts 100 100 -l ernakulam
ernakulam.shp ekm.tif

gdal_rasterize -A DIST -ts 100 100 -l ernakulam ernakulam.shp ekm.tif

gdal_rasterize -A AREA -ts 100 100 -l ernakulam ernakulam.shp ekm.tif

but still no output



ogrinfo -al -so ernakulam.shp
