Using GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library

back to Recipes for EDA CookBook Eda

gdal

gdal url:​http://www.gdal.org/
is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful commandline utilities for data translation and processing.

Cédric => What I've found at this site is not really helpfull, it is only python and c++ code.

In fact gdal comes with two main tools (executable files), the command files for gdal are in C:\OSGeo4W\share\gdal

call >cmd

C:\OSGeo4W\bin\ogr2ogr or C:\OSGeo4W\bin\ogrinfo

Some work with postgres and so far I've failed to make them work either in rgdal or gdal, fuck !

What works so far

rgdal
