Create grid

Create an empty raster that can be used as a grid.

Usage:

1. Open the algorithm from the processing toolbox.

2. Select a CRS and define the new grid’s spatial extent, as well as horizontal and vertical resolution, then click run.

   

Parameters

CRS [crs]

Destination coordinate reference system.

Extent [extent]

Destination extent.

Size units [enum]

Units to use when defining target raster size/resolution.

Width / horizontal resolution [number]

Target width if size units is “Pixels”, or horizontal resolution if size units is “Georeferenced units”. Default: 0

Height / vertical resolution [number]

Target height if size units is “Pixels”, or vertical resolution if size units is “Georeferenced units”. Default: 0

Outputs

Output grid [rasterDestination]

Raster file destination.
