Hi all,

I am trying to create a raster file with categorical data (land 
vegetation/cover positive indices) from a shapefile containing 1 layer of 
polygons.  

I use the following command: 
gdal_rasterize  -tr 0.0005 0.0005  -a_nodata -1 -of GTiff  -a_srs EPSG:4618 -a 
"CLASSE_ID" -ot Byte -init -1 -l region1 region1.shp region1-3.tif

This creates a  map which looks good, but there are some holes in the data, 
(individual pixels with a value of 0) at the intersection of 2 polygons. It 
looks like the
intersections pass through the exact center of these pixels. These pixels are 
not set to missing(-1). Depending on the output resolution, different pixels 
get set to a value of 0.

Has anyone ran into this problem?  Any idea how to fix this?  
Those interested will find 2 small shapefiles here: http://db.tt/3X4hI45 and 
http://db.tt/phqnGci


I tried using gdal_grid, but it doesn't seem to support a shapefile with 
POLYGONs.

many thanks!
Etienne
