[gdal-dev] gdal rasterize vs resize

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I believe it would not be extremely hard to compute the other size parameter so that the result would have square pixels. As a workaround, if you can guess an about suitable pixel size you can define the resolution with equal x and y size:
gdal vector rasterize --resolution [pixelsize,pixelsize]

The behavior is not new. The traditional gdal_rasterize https://gdal.org/en/stable/programs/gdal_rasterize.html requires also both width and height.

Greetings,

When using gdal raster resize I can use --size 0,800 and it will compute
the width.

However, when using gdal vector rasterize --size 0,800 it throws the error:

ERROR 1: Wrong value for -ts parameter.

Having it compute the missing value is highly desirable!

GDAL v3.12.0

Thanks!
Scott
