The Virtual Raster Builder is a tool to create a GDAL Virtual Raster (VRT) by drag and drop. It can be used to stack and mosaic rasterbands or to create spatial- or band-subsets.
To build a new virtual raster (VRT) follow these steps:
Add potential source files to the list of source files:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| add source raster | |
| remove source raster | |
| load raster known to QGIS | |
| expand source file tree node(s) | |
| collapse source file tree node(s) |
Specify the VRT structure by drag and drop of source bands
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| add virtual band | |
| remove virtual band | |
| import virtual bands from existing VRT file | |
| expand VRT tree node(s) | |
| collapse VRT tree node(s) |
Virtual band names can be changed by mouse double-click.
Specify other VRT settings:
Save the new file as VRT. In case of output formats other than VRT, e.g. GeoTIFF, the VRT is created in a temporary location first and the binary file afterwards using gdal.Translate
