VBUFFER

Description

Burns an input vector segment into an existing raster channel and generates a new raster channel.

Parameters

Name	Type	Length	Value range
InputRaster: Input raster channel *	Raster port	1 - 1
VecFeatures: Input vector segment *	Vector port	1 - 1
Output: Output raster channel	Raster port	0 - 1
Buffer Width	Float	0 - 1	0 - Default: 0.001
Buffer Encoding Image Value	Float	0 - 1	0 - Default: 255.0

* Required parameter

Parameter descriptions

InputRaster: Input raster channel

Specifies the input channel onto which the vector will be burned.

VecFeatures: Input vector segment

Specifies the vector segment to burn to the raster channel.

Output: Output raster channel

Specifies the output channel to receive the generated output.

If the output file already exists, this parameter must be specified.

Buffer Width

Specifies the width of the buffer, in meters. The default value is 0.001.

Buffer Encoding Image Value

Specifies the value of the buffer encoding image. The default value is 255.0

Details

VBUFFER burns a vector segment onto a raster channel, using a raster value specified by the BURNVAL (Buffer Encoding Image Value) parameter and a buffer width defined in meters by the BUFDIST (Buffer Width) parameter.

If the specified output file does not exist, a new output file is created. If an existing output file is specified, that file will be updated. If the output file is not specified, the results are written to the input file.
