Shape to raster [message #78139]

Dear IDLers,

My apologies if this question has been posted before.

I have a polygon vector file from which I know the coordinates within a
grid (subpixel precision) and I would like to make a mask from this
information (within the polygon = 1, outside = 0).

The only idea I have to make this would be to use the polyfill command
and use the produced image as a mask. This would be easy to do, but I am
worried about the precision I would reach by doing so (I am concerned
about the line thickness, for example, and all the things that make of
POLYFILL and DRAW_ROI a plot routine and not a "shape to raster" routine).

Maybe there is an IDL equivalent to the ENVI "Build mask from a ROI" tool?

Thanks for your help!

Fabz
