Export Grid data to geotif

[apiszcz]

Is there a capability or possible approach to export the data set to a Geotif file?
Thank.

@apiszcz Could you clarify? Do you mean exporting image data to geotiff or an actual plot? This may be something that's better handled by xarray.

Export to GEOTIFF. Ideally one could 'render' to GEOTIFF or screen, etc.

Sounds like you want to take a GeoViews object and export it as GeoTIFF, which is different from the "rendering" that HoloViews does using matplotlib or bokeh to create image files, but I suppose it is analogous (using the data plus the metadata to generate a viewable object). I'd guess your best bet is to just get the data into a form that rasterio supports, then use rasterio to make the GeoTIFF. Not sure how much work that is; if it's trivial, probably don't need to add any support in GeoViews for that; if it's complicated, not sure where that complicated code would go. Some background:

pydata/xarray#790

For now, I worked another path with rasterio.
