[Qgis-user] How to make a raster or grid from a shapefile

[Manuel Spínola]

Thank you very much Micha,

I want to make a grid or raster from a land us / land cover shapefile, a 
polygon with 9 categories.  I want this to model a species distribution, 
based on animal ocurrence.
Categories:

Forest
Crops
Wetlands
Disturbed Forests
Grasslands
Urban Areas
Water
Bareground
No data

Best,

Manuel
