gis:store-dataset

gis:store-dataset dataset file

Exports the given dataset to the given file.

For VectorDatasets, two file formats are supported, ESRI shapefiles and GeoJSON. If the given file name ends in “.geojson” or “.json”, then the file will be exported as a GeoJSON file. If the file name ends in any other extension or no extension at all, the dataset will be exported as a shapefile and the associated file extensions will be supplied (“.shp”, “.prj”, etc.)

For RasterDatasets, only ESRI ASCII grid files are supported and the associated file extensions will be automatically supplied.

Relative paths are resolved relative to the location of the current model, or the user’s home directory if the current model hasn’t been saved yet.
