Description

This tool has been designed to rasterize polygons representing categories and selects that category, which has maximum coverage of a cell. The advantage using this tool (instead the more simple 'Shapes to Grid' or 'Polygons to Grid' tools) is that it summarizes all polygon coverages belonging to the same category.
