Convert Raster Function Template

Summary

Converts a raster function template between formats (rft.xml, json, and binary).

Usage

• Raster function templates can be stored in XML, JSON, or binary format.

• Since some formats work better on the web, you can convert your raster function template between formats. For example, you may want to convert your rft.xml function template to JSON so that you can use the template in an image service REST API.
