Rasterize spatial vector dataset

Description

Converts vector object to a raster with specified extent and resolution.

Usage

rasterize_vector(
  vector_data,
  outfile,
  template_raster,
  extent,
  res,
  crs,
  field,
  burn_value,
  datatype = "Float32",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  return_rast = FALSE
)

Arguments

`vector_data`	Character. File path to vector spatial data.
`outfile`	Raster output file path. Parent directory will be created recursively if required.
`template_raster`	Optional. `Raster*` object or a file path to template raster. If this is provided, `extent`, `res`, and `crs` will be taken from this raster unless they are also passed to this function. If `x` is not provided, then `extent` and `res` must be provided.
`extent`	Either a character path to a raster file, an Extent object (or an object from which such an extent can be extracted), or a numeric vector with four elements giving xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax.
`res`	Numeric or integer vector giving the horizontal and vertical spatial resolution of the target raster, in units of `crs`. If a single value is given, it will be used for both horizontal and vertical resolution.
`crs`	Target coordinate reference system as a PROJ string (character) an object of class CRS. If missing and `template_raster` is supplied, the crs of `template_raster` will be used. If `template_raster` is also not supplied, the CRS of `vector_data` will be used.
`field`	Character. Name of attribute to be burned into raster.
`burn_value`	Numeric. A constant value to burn into raster.
`datatype`	Character. Output data type (see [gdal_rasterize(https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_rasterize.html) documentation).
`overwrite`	Logical. Should outfile be overwritten if it exists?
`return_rast`	Logical. Return object to R?
