are different things/tools: gdal_merge mosaics images, if the defined extent (-ul_lr) is part of just one image then... it clips it. The extent is obviously rectangular. with gdal_rasterize you can give a color to everything stays outside the boundaries of a given shapfile. cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
