Description

I hope I have not overseen such a function.
It would be nice to have an easy function which exports/saves the final eligible area when having added all exclusions, whereby non-eligible pixels are automatically set to "no data". This geotiff file should then be easily importable to e.g. QGIS.
Or are you using rasterio for this to save the boolean array from shape_availability?

Research direction

Start from the shape_availability boolean array and trace how the final eligible area is represented after exclusions. The work is done when that result can be exported as a GeoTIFF, with non-eligible pixels set to no data, and imported into QGIS.
