GenerateThumbnail Task

This task generates a thumbnail from the given raster and size. The bands to use for RGB will be automatically determined.

Example

; Start the application

e = ENVI()

; Open an input file

File = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi', Subdir=['data'], $

  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)

Raster = e.OpenRaster(File)

; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks

Task = ENVITask('GenerateThumbnail')

; Define inputs

Task.INPUT_RASTER = Raster

Task.THUMBNAIL_SIZE = 800

; Run the task

Task.Execute

; Add the output to the Data Manager

e.Data.Add, Task.OUTPUT_RASTER

; Display the result

View = e.GetView()

Layer = View.CreateLayer(Task.OUTPUT_RASTER)
