[gdal-dev] Can't get gdal_rasterize to work... with anything.

[Ari Jolma]

Karen,

For example this command on my computer

gdal_rasterize -burn 1 -l is50v_mannvirki_flakar_24122013 -of GTiff -ts 
1000 1000 is50v_mannvirki_flakar_24122013.shp x.tiff

produces a 1000 x 1000 geotiff which is mostly zeros except ones where 
the polygons are.

Can you tell us what command did you use?

Ari

ps: the website was a bit difficult to use for non-icelanders.
