nets draw-samples

Creates a random uniform sample of points based on the extent of a polygon or raster.


usage: nets draw-samples [-h] [-o path] [--per-sqkm count] [-n count] [--bbox]
                         [--of driver] [--crs CRS]
                         extent

positional arguments:
  extent                Raster or vector file to draw samples from within.

optional arguments:
  -o path               Path to the output point-format vector (default: None)
  --per-sqkm count      Number of samples to raw per square kilometer.
                        Mutually exclusive to -n. (default: 2.0)
  -n count, --n-samples count
                        Number of samples to draw. Mutually exclusive to
                        --per-sqkm. (default: None)
  --bbox                Draw samples from the extent bounding box instead of
                        from within valid data locations. (default: False)
  --of driver           Output vector driver format. (default: GPKG)
  --crs CRS             Output vector coordinate reference system. (default:
                        None)
