Parameter descriptions

InputRaster: Input raster channel

Specifies the input raster channel to be processed.

OutputBitmap: Output file name

Specifies the name of the file to which the new bitmap layer will be saved. This file is created if it does not already exist.

Use current selection (Focus only)

Allows you to restrict processing to only the selected shapes from the current view in CATALYST Professional Focus. The default value is FALSE so all shapes are processed.

Note: This parameter is available only through the Focus Algorithm Librarian.

Details

RAS2BIT converts a raster layer to a 1-bit bitmap layer. The output bitmap is created for all valid pixels. Valid pixels are assigned a 1 in the bitmap, and pixels with a NoData value are assigned a 0. A raster without a NoData value produces a bitmap of the full raster.
