Description
The ImportVRSurface process creates a CSAR file from an input variable-resolution surface in a specified format.
Inputs
A variable-resolution surface in the specified format.
Outputs
A variable resolution surface in CSAR format.
Command Line Syntax
carisbatch --run ImportVRSurface --input-format <value> [options] <input> <output>
Options
The following table describes the parameters available for this process.
Parameter |
| |||
Long | Short | Description | Can Repeat | Notes
|
--input-format | A string specifying the format of the data to import. • BAG: Input is a BAG raster with variable-resolution refinement grids. BAG 1.6.0 was the first version to introduce support for variable-resolution refinement grids. | FALSE | ||
--polygon-type | Y | A string specifying the type of bounding polygon to generate. One of: • CONVEX: The convex hull of the data is used for the polygon. • BUFFERED: A simplified buffered boundary is used for the polygon. The default value is BUFFERED. | FALSE | |
--comments | General comments to be added to the coverage metadata. The default value is an empty string. | FALSE | ||
Example
To use this command refer to the following example.
Example | ||
Objective | You want to import a BAG raster to create a new variable resolution surface in CSAR format. | |
Description | Command Line Syntax | |
The input format is BAG. | --input-format BAG | |
A buffered bounding polygon is to be genereated. | --polygon-type BUFFERED | |
The source BAG file is named BAGRaster.bag and is in the BatchSample directory on the D: dirve. | D:\BatchSample\BAGRaster.bag | |
The output variable resolution surface will be called BAG2VR.csar and will be saved in the same location as the input surface. | D:\BatchSample\BAG2VR.csar | |

Outcome | A new variable resolution surface is created in CSAR format in the specified location. | |
