Does it means to produce a polygon feature layer from a raster? GDAL has this function - gdal_polygonize http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html GDAL raster functions are all ported in QGIS as a plugin (i.e Raster) in QGIS. Download QGIS 1.6.0 and have a look at the Raster. QGIS supports vector, raster, database, etc. http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Download GdalTools plugin - (Raster) https://trac.faunalia.it/GdalTools-plugin/ Noli On 1/5/11, Landon Blake <lbl...@ksninc.com> wrote: > I'm working on a magazine article for ACSM Bulliten entitled "Creating > Value From Raster Data".
