This question refers to the doc of rasterio:
https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/masking-by-shapefile.html
I used the given code on the website.
out_meta.update({"driver": "GTiff",
"height": out_image.shape[1],
"width": out_image.shape[2],
"transform": out_transform})
with rasterio.open("RGB.byte.masked.tif", "w", **out_meta) as dest:
dest.write(out_image)
How do they create the RGB.byte.masked.tif file ?
Best Answer
The line below opens
"RGB.byte.masked.tif"
for writing (note the"w"
argument). It creates the file if it does not exist and completely overwrites it if it does exist.
