Parameter descriptions

RasterLayer: Input raster channel

Specifies the input raster channel to be processed.

Output

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

Details

RAS2PNT converts a raster to a point (vector) layer by producing an interior point for each contiguous region of equal-valued pixels within the input raster layer.

The generated coordinates are of the same projection as the input raster layer.

If the input raster has attributes those are copied to the corresponding point in the point layer. The resulting point layer will have an attribute for each pixel value. Because contiguous pixel areas will generate a single point, many points can map to the same pixel value. If only one point per pixel value is desired, use CRCENTROID.
