Hi Calvin

One solution would be to use GDAL, a script like the following (single quotes (-a_nodata '-9999') for Linux, I believe)

*gdal_rasterize -a "reading" -a_srs "EPSG:*/your_srs/*//**" -a_nodata "-9999" -ot "Float32" -of "GTiff" -tr 2 2 -co "COMPRESS=LZW" input.shp output.tif"*

That should interpolate the points to a grid for you!

It can also be batched, an example of a windows batch for the above would be

/@echo=off//
//mkdir rasters//
//for %%f in ("*2m.shp") do gdal_rasterize -a "reading" -a_srs "//*your_srs*//" -a_nodata "-9999" -ot "Float32" -of "GTiff" -tr 2 2 -co "COMPRESS=LZW" "%%~nxf" "rasters/%%~nf.tif" //
//pause/

just save it as a *.bat file for example magnetometry.bat

Hope this helps,
Regards,

Richard.

I don't know how many of you have worked with archaeological magnetormetry data, but I have been asked to help with magnetometry data of the ancient Mound Builders in North America. I am looking for some suggestion on how to best turn the irregular magnetic data points into an image.

I see an Interpolation plugin that perhaps is the solution, but I also see that it is not part of QGIS 3. Is this because it has not been ported yet, or is not going to be porter, or is there a better solution?

I don't know if any of the Lidar tools would work for this or not. LASTools is a commercial product and the locked version only works with small data sets and adds noise unless you purchase a license. At least that is how it was the last time I used it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Calvin
