This tool can be used to create a new raster with the same spatial extent as an input vector file (`base`). The user must specify the name of the base file, the value that the new grid will be filled with (`out_val`; NoData if unspecified), and the data type (`data_type` flag; options include 'double', 'float', and 'integer'). It is also necessary to specify a value for the optional grid cell size (`cell_size`) input parameter.
