WMS to Raster

Description

This component converts a Web Map Service (WMS) layer into a local raster dataset, clipped to a specified area of interest. The WMS tiles are fetched and composited into a single raster file that can be used in subsequent raster operations.

Inputs

• WMS dataset [WMS] — the connected WMS layer to convert
• Area of interest [Dataset] — a polygon dataset defining the output extent

Outputs

• Result raster [Raster]

Use Cases

• Downloading a WMS-served aerial or satellite imagery tile for use in raster analysis
• Saving a snapshot of a live WMS layer as a persistent local raster
• Preparing WMS data for operations such as Crop Raster or Zonal Statistics
