## Transform a shape file to a tiff file
If your input data is a processed shape file it first needs to be converted to geotiff, this can be done with the 'ShapeToGeoTiffTask'.  

Pass the code of the shape item into the {code} parameter, this creates a new item with tiff data as a sibling of the shape item with the same parent 
This new geotiff item should be used as input to the a task.

##### Optional input parameters #####
There are some optional task attribute input parameters for greater flexibility.

* **inputLayers**  
 * array of of input layer name strings
 * Default is processing all layers
* **algorithm**  
 * Valid inputs can be found here https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_grid.html#interpolation-algorithms
 * Example of the default **"invdistnn:radius=100:min_points=2"**
* **resolution**
 * The resolution in meters for the final tiff file. [1, 100]
 * Default is 1

defaults are false

```javascript
{
    "inputLayers": "[\"height\", \"lutum\"]", // the value is a string not a json array!
    "algorithm": "invdistnn:radius=100:min_points=2",
    "resolution": 5
}
```
