Pixel Export

Pixel Export is a tool that allows you to export the pixel values under a line, point or polygon for the map of your choice into a csv file. You can export pixel values for stamps and/or maps. The tool also allows the user to export the pixel values for more than one map at a time as long as the ppd is the same for each map. Below is a short tutorial on how to use the tool.


How to Export Pixels:

  • Add a polygon, point or line to your main view. This is the desired area that you would like to have the pixel data for.

  • pixel1
  • Right click --> Select Feature and select the shape that you would like. The shape will be outlined in yellow when it is selected.
