I feel I am missing a basic function somewhere to "burn" (in gdal terms) a vector layer as styled by QGIS, for example with labels, to a raster layer (of some resolution).
The Rasterize (vector to raster) function is based on gdal_rasterize and does not take into account styling as it focuses on preserving the actual data. The work around I am currently using is to use Project-Save as Image while displaying only the styled vector layer which will generate a correct world file helper, then loading the generated image as raster layer and assigning the correct projection. Finally, I clip the raster with the original extent of the vector layer. This works but is limited as the resolution is constrained by the physical size of the map window and requires the additional house keeping steps. qgis2web or QTiles or OGR2Tiles as plugins do something like this internally but I could not find a plugin which just generates a regular raster layer (say geotiff). I also know I could probably produce a short Python script (perhaps as processing script) to do this but still think I am missing something ? Any help or hint much welcome, Andreas
