gdaltranslate

gdaltranslate(indata, options=String[]; dest=“/vsimem/tmp”, kwargs…)

Convert raster data between different formats.

Operations provided by the GDAL ‘gdal_translate’ tool. Namely sub-region extraction and resampling. The kwargs options accept the GMT region (-R), increment (-I), target SRS (-J). Any of the keywords outgrid, outfile or save = outputname options to make this function save the result on a file designated by ‘outputname’. The file format is picked from the ‘outputname’ file extension. When no output file name is provided it returns a GMT object (either a grid or an image, depending on the input type). To force the return of a GDAL dataset use the option gdataset=true.

Args

  • indata: Input data. It can be a file name, a GMTgrid or GMTimage object or a GDAL dataset
  • options: List of options. The accepted options are the ones of the gdal_translate utility. This list can be in the form of a vector of strings, or joined in a single string.

Kwargs

  • meta=metadata, where metadata is a string vector with the form “NAME=….” for each of its elements. This data will be recognized by GDAL as Metadata. The kwargs may also contain the GMT region (-R), proj (-J), inc (-I) and save=fname options. And it may also contain a options=... argument that is equivalent to the options positional argument, with the exception that the value may also be a Tuple.

Returns

A GMT grid or Image, or a GDAL dataset (or nothing if file was writen on disk).
