This tool has been designed to rasterize polygons representing categories and selects that category, which has maximum coverage of a cell. The advantage using this tool (instead the more simple 'Shapes to Grid' or 'Polygons to Grid' tools) is that it summarizes all polygon coverages belonging to the same category.
| | Name | Type | Identifier | Description | Constraints |
| Input | Polygons | shapes, input | POLYGONS | - | - |
| Target System | grid, input, optional
[CMD] | TARGET_TEMPLATE | use this grid's system for output grids | - |
| Output | Classification | table, output, optional | CLASSES | Classification look-up table for interpretation of resulting grid cell values. | - |
| Category | grid, output | CATEGORY | - | - |
| Coverage | grid, output, optional | COVERAGE | - | - |
| Options | Category | table field | FIELD | The attribute field that specifies the category a polygon belongs to. | - |
| Method | choice | METHOD | Choose cell wise, if you have not many polygons. Polygon wise will show much better performance, if you have many (small) polygons. | Available Choices:
[0] cell wise
[1] polygon wise
Default: 1 |
| Multiple Polygons | choice | MULTIPLE | Output value for cells that intersect with more than one polygon. | Available Choices:
[0] minimum coverage
[1] maximum coverage
Default: 1 |
| Target Grid System | choice | TARGET_DEFINITION | - | Available Choices:
[0] user defined
[1] grid or grid system
Default: 0 |
