Suggestion for adding a new feature: Rasterization using "population to cell" option

[tmoelter]

Hi, I would like to ask for adding a new feature to CloudCompy. In CloudCompare the rasterization allows to set the raster export options 'Export density (population per cell)'. So far I think this is not implemented in ClouComPy. It would be awesome if this can be added in a future version. I was looking for other workarounds to obtain the same result but didn't find any simple solution.

Cheers Tina

I implemented something to handle the raster export option 'Export density (population per cell)', after fixing the bugs in issue #20. The rasterize dialogs are very rich and I have not processed all the options. I have made some choices to handle the raster export options, but since I am not used to using these functions, I would not want to forget or hide a useful option. I am testing with the nice dataset you sent in issue #20. If you can provide some screenshots of the dialogs as you use them (which selections and options are checked on the rasterize, raster export options... dialogs), I will check that I can reproduce the same choices in Python, before releasing a new version. Regards, Paul

Hi Paul, that 's awesome. Here are some screenshots of the options I normally use. I think the interpolation option is great, but when I understood the "emptyCellFillStrategy" right this is already implemented. So this should be enough.

The export options "all scalar fields", "heights" and "density" are also often used by myself.

Regards and thank you very much for your efforts, Tina

It should work with the new release, see https://www.simulation.openfields.fr/ Paul

Awesome! Thank you very much!
