List,<br>
<br>
I need to rasterize a polygon layer coming from a SHP file. However, the values in the outputraster need to be the FID of the corresponding polygon.<br>
<br>
My command:<br>
gdal_rasterize -a FID -l FECS FECS.shp flattenedRaster.tif<br>

<br>
Could you try:<br>
<br>
gdal_rasterize -a FID \<br>
-sql "select FID, * from FECS" FEC.shp flattenedRaster.tif<br>
<br>
The ExecuteSQL() method invoked for -sql should be able to treat FID<br>
as a pseudo-attribute. It's a bit unfortunate this sort of thing doesn't<br>
work directly without the SQL route.<br>
