Hi, the nodata value is the value considered as NoData. Therefore, if the calculation result is 0, you should set 0 as NoData value.
Thanks for the feedback @semiautomaticgit I'm sorry, but I didn't understood your point.
When I create and index, NDVI for example, the values are in the range [-1, 1]. So, I can have values computed as 0, if NIR is equal to RED. I don't want 0 as the "no data value" on the output, because 0 can be a valid output. For pixels in the resulting raster, where we don't have input values, the output should be the "no data value" specified, right?
By other words: how do I say that the "no data value" in the output should be -999 instead of 0 (zero)?
In the above screenshot, for the NDWI index (layer NDWI_20180606.tif) there is black area below. All these pixels have the value 0. I would prefer to have the value -999.
The plugin Band calc performs the calculation for all the pixels (also NoData) in the original bands.
Set NoData is used to set a NoData value of the output raster (e.g. all the pixels resulting -999 are set NoData).
If you need to exclude the black are you should perform a conditional calculation with the condition "where" and define the NoData value accordingly, such as the following expression:
where( "bandset#b1" == nodata("bandset#b1") , -999, ("bandset#b2" - "bandset#b1" ) / ("bandset#b2" + "bandset#b1" ))
I'll check the code to understand how it can be used.
Hi, I've set the the No data value to -999 in the Band calc dialog.
After computing the indexes, the No data value is 0, instead of -999.
Is somebody able to reproduce the problem? I'll check the code later, to check if this No data value is used or not.
