remove the raster data layer from the my project and add it back in again, it
reverts to saying the maximum value is 0.995968 rather than 1 in the legend in
the Table Of Contents window and in the histogram for the data layer. Thus, each

1. </font></div>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m a fairly experienced GIS user, but I’m new to QGIS. I’m using
version 2.2, and I’m trying to convert a point data layer into a raster data
layer using the Rasterize tool. The point data layer has an integer field
with a value of 1 for all records, and I want to make a raster data layer
which has a value of one for each cell which has at least one point in it
(some cells have more than one point in them). When I use the Rasterize
tool, it creates the raster data layer fine, but all cells with have points
in them appear to have a value of 0.995968. I’ve tried editing the gdal code
(even making the resulting raster data layer an integer layer), but I still
cannot get it to produce a raster with a value of 1 rather than just a
number very close to one. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone have any suggestions of where I might be going wrong and/or
how to solve this issue?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On a related note, is it possible to use the Rasterize tool to work out
the average or total values for all the points which fall in each grid cell?
If so, how (I can’t find anything in the gdal instructions themselves which
would suggest this is possible, but I might be missing something). If this
isn’t possible to do with the Rasterize tool, are there other tools in QGIS
which can do this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any help anyone can give on this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All the best,</div>
