24.1.12. Raster tools

24.1.12.1. Convert map to raster

Creates a raster image of map canvas content.

A map theme can be selected to render a predetermined set of layers with a defined style for each layer.

Alternatively, a single layer can be selected if no map theme is set.

If neither map theme nor layer is set, the current map content will be rendered. The minimum extent entered will internally be extended to be a multiple of the tile size.

Minimum extent to render (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)	EXTENT	[extent]	Specify the extent of the output raster layer. One of: Use Canvas Extent Select Extent on Canvas Use Layer Extent… It will internally be extended to a multiple of the tile size.
Tile size	TILE_SIZE	[number] Default: 1024	Size of the tile of the output raster layer. Minimum value: 64.
Map units per pixel	MAP_UNITS_PER_PIXEL	[number] Default: 100.0	Pixel size (in map units). Minimum value: 0.0
Make background transparent	MAKE_BACKGROUND_TRANSPARENT	[boolean] Default: False	Allows exporting the map with a transparent background. Outputs an RGBA (instead of RGB) image if set to True.
Map theme to render Optional	MAP_THEME	[enumeration]	Use an existing map theme for the rendering.
Single layer to render Optional	LAYER	[enumeration]	Choose a single layer for the rendering

Python code

Algorithm ID: qgis:rasterize

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

24.1.12.2. Fill NoData cells

Resets the NoData values in the input raster to a chosen value, resulting in raster dataset with no NoData pixels.

The algorithm respects the input raster data type, e.g. a floating point fill value will be truncated when applied to an integer raster.
