Hi geotools-users,

I want a method to convert data from a polygon type coverage (data currently 
stored in shapefile) to a square celled raster.

I want something a bit more sophisticated than assigning the value at the 
raster cell centroid: The method is to do a form of areal interpolation, taking 
areal proportions for each target raster cell summed for all contributing. 
source polygons.

Previously I have done this type of work using ESRI technology by generating a 
fishnet polygon coverage, intersecting coverages, calculating statistics and 
finally doing a polygon coverage to raster conversion.

I have not yet looked at what is available in GeoTools for doing this. It may 
be there is already a method. First I thought to ask here before I looked and 
tried to get something working. I am aiming to have something working by the 
end of January.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Best wishes,

Andy
