Common Options

--gridding-method

g

The gridding method used to generate the output raster.

SHOAL_TRUE: Shoalest Depth True Position - Shoalest depth with true positions

SWATH_ANGLE: Swath Angle - Beam geometry weighting

UNCERTAINTY: Uncertainty - TPU weighting

CUBE: CUBE - CUBE algorithm

FALSE

This must be specified explicitly.

--resolution

R

A number and unit specifying the resolution of the output raster.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd, yd, deg and rad.

FALSE

This must be explicitly specified.

--extent

E

The extents that defines the window.

<LowerX> - A number specifying the lower left X origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<LowerY> - A number specifying the lower left Y origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<UpperX> - A number specifying the upper right X origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<UpperY> - A number specifying the upper right Y origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

The unit is assumed to be that of the output's coordinate reference system, unless otherwise specified. When specifying units for unprojected data, an angle type unit is required. The order for unprojected coordinates is longitude followed by latitude. Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd, yd, deg and rad.

FALSE

This must be explicitly specified.

--output-crs

FALSE

This must be explicitly specified.

--output-vertical-crs

o

A string specifying the vertical coordinate reference system key of the output.

FALSE

--primary-band

m

A string specifying the name given to the primary band of the output.

The default value is Depth.

FALSE

--compute-band

a

A string specifying an output band to be computed from the input points. One of:

SHOAL: Shoal - Shoalest of all values that contributed to populating the cell

DEEP: Deep - Deepest of all values that contributed to populating the cell

DENSITY: Density - Number of points that contributed to populating the cell

MEAN: Mean - Mean of all values that contributed to populating the cell

STD_DEV: Standard deviation - Standard deviation of all values that contributed to populating the cell

TRUE

--polygon-type

The default value is BUFFERED.

FALSE

--comments

C

General comments to be added to the coverage metadata.

The default value is an empty string.

FALSE

--include-flag

A string specifying a status flag to be included for the operation. One of:

ACCEPTED: Accepted status flag

EXAMINED: Examined status flag

OUTSTANDING: Outstanding status flag

REJECTED: Rejected status flag

SUPPRESSED: Suppressed status flag

TRUE

This must be explicitly specified.

--keep-up-to-date

U

If set, disables Keep Up to Date setting.

FALSE

GriddingMethod = SHOAL_TRUE Options

--vertical-uncertainty

T

If set, carries over the Depth TPU of the selected shoal value.

FALSE

I

If set, computes a Median band from the input points.

FALSE

GriddingMethod = SWATH_ANGLE Options

--max-footprint

X

A number specifying the maximum area in which a sounding can be applied to the surface.

The default value is 9. Value is set in resolution units.

FALSE

--grazing-angle-file

G

The path to the Grazing Angle Weights file.

The defaults is to use the system table if not defined.

The default value is to apply full weight from 90 to 75 degrees, 0.01 weight at 15 degrees and 0 weight at 0 degrees.

If set, the value overrides the GrazingAngleFile.

FALSE

Default: full weight from 90 to 75 degrees, weight = 0.01 at 15 degrees, and weight = 0 at 0 degrees.

If explicitly provided, overrides GrazingAngleFile, and will be set in lineage from table used.
