    3636The [http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html gdal_polygonize.py] python script can be used to convert raster layers to polygon layers since GDAL 1.6.  It will produce very detailed polygons around each area of equal pixel value.

    40 Currently the gdal_rasterize utility cannot create a blank raster based a vector datasource although this feature has been considered (Ticket #1599).

     42Before GDAL 1.8.0, the gdal_rasterize utility cannot create a blank raster based a vector datasource although this feature has been considered (Ticket #1599).
