Proposal: option to output zonal_stats as vector #277

Open emlys opened 2 years ago

emlys commented 2 years ago

In several invest models, we calculate zonal statistics, then create a copy of the AOI vector and add zonal stats fields to it. I had a use for this on the morgan stanley project as well.

A variation of zonal_statistics, or a wrapper around it, would take in an additional argument that is a path to write out the result vector. The result vector would be a copy of the input vector with added fields. Instead of (or in addition to) returning the stats dictionary, it would save the stats to the vector attribute table.

In our meeting on 12/9 we decided that the next step for this will be to write a design doc.
