Hi, Thanks for the reply. When I tried this first, the image was displaying just black and white. But after some experimentation I discovered that '-ot Byte' with gdal_rasterize gave polygons colored various shades of grey - though not related to my attribute - seemed to be random.
I dont understand what you mean by 'If the RGB values are in separate attributes'. I have one attribute and I want the polygon to be colored depending on the value of the attribute for this polygon. Eg if attribute is between 100 and 199 color polygon green if the attribute is between 200 and 299 color polygon red etc (I can change the attribute to discrete integer levels if ranges aren't allowed). I type this: gdal_rasterize -ts 500 900 -ot Byte -a attributeName -l layerName vectorFilename.shp rasterFilename.tiff Though I'm not sure if this is correct. I guess this is a greyscale image and not full color. Can't figure out how to get full color. Do you know how to add a color table? Is there a gdal utility for this? I couldn't find much on the web to explain how to add a color table other than a suggestion for converting to a .vrt and manually editing the file. I guess I want a palette raster? But I couldnt figure out the format of the color table. Or how to specify that the background should be transparent. Any clues you can give me would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Convert-vector-to-raster-with-colored-polygons-tp6396185p6400545.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
