Incorrect GDAL parameters generated in Grid Interpolate tool (via menu or Processing)

Description

When the GDAL based Interpolate function is run, the GDAL command generated does not match the parameters chosen in the tool dialog:

The attached screenshot shows the menu based Raster > Analysis > Grid (Interpolation)... dialog configuration. This is using the IDW interpolator with output in GeoTIFF, however the command line generated is as follows:

gdal_grid -l BathyODN_BNG -a invdist:power=2.0:smothing=0.0:radius1=0.0:radius2=0.0:angle=0.0:max_points=0:min_points=0:nodata=0.0 -of GMT C:/Local/Advanced_QGIS/Exercises/Data/Vector/Bathy/BathyODN_BNG.shp C:/Local/BathyInterp_InvDist.tif

Note that the smoothing parameter is misspelled, and also the output format (-of) is set to 'GMT', not 'GTiff' as requested. The latter generates an error when the tool is run.

When the same command is executed through Processing GDAL/OGR > [GDAL] Analysis > Grid (Inverse distance to a power), the same smothing -> smoothing typo is present, and the GDAL '-of' parameter is omitted entirely, meaning that a GeoTIFF is always generated regardless of the format and extension chosen in the dialog.

Try the equivalent tool in the Processing toolbox, "gdaltools" is not mantained anymore and has been dropped in QGIS3.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

See the last paragraph in the original description - a similar set of errors arise in the equivalent Processing tool.
