Hi,<br><br>I would like to try gdal_rasterize to convert World Vector Shoreline (WVS) data into raster data. I am hoping that this will speed up performance when viewing this data within MapServer. In the documentation is says "Currently gdal_rasterize cannot create new output files though that may be added eventually". I don't want to merge WVS with an existing raster layer, but have its own layer. How can I create a blank geotiff that I can use as output for this rasterized WVS data?
<br><br>Thanks,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John J. Mitchell
