radproc.arcgis.create_idraster_germany

radproc.arcgis.create_idraster_germany(projectionFile, outRaster, extendedNationalGrid=True)

Creates an ID raster in stereographic projection for the extended national RADOLAN grid (900 x 1100 km) or the national grid (900 x 900 km).

ID values range from 0 in the upper left corner to 989999 in the lower right corner for the extended national grid and to 809999 in the national grid.

Parameters:

projectionFile : string

Path to a file containing stereographic projection definition. File type may be Feature Class, Shapefile, prj-file or grid.

outRaster : string

Path and name for the output ID raster to be created.

extendedNationalGrid : bool (optional, default: True)

True: extended 900 x 1100 national RADOLAN grid, False: 900x900 national grid.

Returns:

outRaster : string

Path and name of the generated output raster.

Note:

To use the custom RADOLAN projection as projectionFile for the output ID raster, you can specify the prj-file provided in radproc.sampledata:

>>> from radproc.sampledata import get_projection_file_path
>>> projectionFile = get_projection_file_path()
