Handling bigger raster

[MrZombie69232]

There hasn't been any example of handling more big raster data like a country as big as Brazil or the USA. If you could provide example of the same.

Thanks

Hi @MrZombie69232

The spatial extent of your input data combined with the output resolution of the distance raster will ultimately determine your ability to run distance calculations on your machine. Even data covering only a smaller area will potentially be limited by your machine's memory if the resolution is sufficiently fine. Similarly, even global data can be run quickly when using a very coarse output resolution. I've run distance calculations on global datasets using a 1km resolution on a relatively normal consumer machine (32GB of memory) - as a reference point - but you may need to adapt based on your specific data.

I'll look into providing more in depth examples of this in the future, and consider other ways to better support working with larger datasets.
