I would assume that rasterization is a pre-processing step that needs to be done before using your module, and it may not need to be done every time you run the module. If this pre-processing doesn't require any special treatments to the input raster, I would leave it out and just add some notes in the manual.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Huidae</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 6:29 AM, Nikos Alexandris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nik@nikosalexandris.net" target="_blank">nik@nikosalexandris.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear all,<br>

I am concerned about mixing Vector and Raster maps as inputs in a<br>
module. I think it's less of a complication if a module considers either<br>
only Vector or Raster maps as inputs.<br>
<br>
Should I just not worry and mix these? The question is about user-friendliness.<br>
<br>
If tha add-on is exposed to QGIS, non-experienced users will be able to<br>
use it. Should they be forced to think about doing some rasterisation<br>
themselves? Or should the module do this job for them?<br>
<br>
This is a generic question. I much appreciate your thoughts.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
