History

#1 Updated by Nyall Dawson over 5 years ago

  • Tracker changed from Bug report to Feature request
  • Subject changed from GDAL_rasterize to GDAL rasterize - add support for "burn in" to existing rasters, 'add' parameter

#2 Updated by Nyall Dawson over 5 years ago

The algorithm does not current support altering existing rasters, and only allows creation of new rasters. The 'add' mode only makes sense when used with updating an existing raster.

#3 Updated by Rijk Zuurmond over 5 years ago

i'm using it to create (raster)heatmaps from a large set of tracks (shape polylines),
this future is available in version 2.18

jpg added: menu from 2.18, orginal shapefile and resulting raster

it seems that on QGIS LTR the tool was split in two, one allowing this operation, so it would be better to re-add it also in qgis 3.
