If GDAL_DCAP_CREATE is set, but GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY not, a generic CreateCopy() implementation is available and will use the Create() API of the driver. So to test if some CreateCopy() implementation is available, generic or specialize, test for both GDAL_DCAP_CREATE and GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY.

◆ GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY

#define GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY   "DCAP_CREATECOPY"

Capability set by a driver that implements the CreateCopy() API.

If GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY is not defined, but GDAL_DCAP_CREATE is set, a generic CreateCopy() implementation is available and will use the Create() API of the driver. So to test if some CreateCopy() implementation is available, generic or specialize, test for both GDAL_DCAP_CREATE and GDAL_DCAP_CREATECOPY.

double  dfTimeout,
int *  pnBufXOff,
int *  pnBufYOff,
int *  pnBufXSize,
int *  pnBufYSize 
)

Get async IO update.

Provide an opportunity for an asynchronous IO request to update the image buffer and return an indication of the area of the buffer that has been updated.

The dfTimeout parameter can be used to wait for additional data to become available. The timeout does not limit the amount of time this method may spend actually processing available data.

The following return status are possible.

  • GARIO_PENDING: No imagery was altered in the buffer, but there is still activity pending, and the application should continue to call GetNextUpdatedRegion() as time permits.
  • GARIO_UPDATE: Some of the imagery has been updated, but there is still activity pending.
  • GARIO_ERROR: Something has gone wrong. The asynchronous request should be ended.
  • GARIO_COMPLETE: An update has occurred and there is no more pending work on this request. The request should be ended and the buffer used.

This is the same as GDALAsyncReader::GetNextUpdatedRegion()

Parameters
hARIOhandle to the async reader.
dfTimeoutthe number of seconds to wait for additional updates. Use -1 to wait indefinitely, or zero to not wait at all if there is no data available.
pnBufXOfflocation to return the X offset of the area of the request buffer that has been updated.
pnBufYOfflocation to return the Y offset of the area of the request buffer that has been updated.
pnBufXSizelocation to return the X size of the area of the request buffer that has been updated.
pnBufYSizelocation to return the Y size of the area of the request buffer that has been updated.
Returns
GARIO_ status, details described above.

◆ GDALARLockBuffer()

int GDALARLockBuffer ( GDALAsyncReaderH  hARIO,
double  dfTimeout 
)

Lock image buffer.

Locks the image buffer passed into GDALDataset::BeginAsyncReader(). This is useful to ensure the image buffer is not being modified while it is being used by the application. UnlockBuffer() should be used to release this lock when it is no longer needed.

This is the same as GDALAsyncReader::LockBuffer()

Parameters
hARIOhandle to async reader.
dfTimeoutthe time in seconds to wait attempting to lock the buffer. -1.0 to wait indefinitely and 0 to not wait at all if it can't be acquired immediately. Default is -1.0 (infinite wait).
Returns
TRUE if successful, or FALSE on an error.

◆ GDALARUnlockBuffer()

void GDALARUnlockBuffer ( GDALAsyncReaderH  hARIO)

GDALDataType  eBufType,
int  nBandCount,
int *  panBandMap,
int  nPixelSpace,
int  nLineSpace,
int  nBandSpace,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)

Sets up an asynchronous data request.

This method establish an asynchronous raster read request for the indicated window on the dataset into the indicated buffer. The parameters for windowing, buffer size, buffer type and buffer organization are similar to those for GDALDataset::RasterIO(); however, this call only launches the request and filling the buffer is accomplished via calls to GetNextUpdatedRegion() on the return GDALAsyncReader session object.

Once all processing for the created session is complete, or if no further refinement of the request is required, the GDALAsyncReader object should be destroyed with the GDALDataset::EndAsyncReader() method.

Note that the data buffer (pData) will potentially continue to be updated as long as the session lives, but it is not deallocated when the session (GDALAsyncReader) is destroyed with EndAsyncReader(). It should be deallocated by the application at that point.

Additional information on asynchronous IO in GDAL may be found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc24_progressive_data_support

This method is the same as the C++ GDALDataset::BeginAsyncReader() method.

Parameters

nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
pBufThe buffer into which the data should be read. This buffer must contain at least nBufXSize * nBufYSize * nBandCount words of type eBufType. It is organized in left to right,top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace, and nLineSpace parameters.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the pData data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.

int  nSrcOffset,
int  nSrcStep,
GByte pabyDstData,
int  nDstOffset,
int  nDstStep,
int  nBitCount,
int  nStepCount 
)

Bitwise word copying.

A function for moving sets of partial bytes around. Loosely speaking this is a bitwise analog to GDALCopyWords().

It copies nStepCount "words" where each word is nBitCount bits long. The nSrcStep and nDstStep are the number of bits from the start of one word to the next (same as nBitCount if they are packed). The nSrcOffset and nDstOffset are the offset into the source and destination buffers to start at, also measured in bits.

All bit offsets are assumed to start from the high order bit in a byte (i.e. most significant bit first). Currently this function is not very optimized, but it may be improved for some common cases in the future as needed.

Parameters
pabySrcDatathe source data buffer.
nSrcOffsetthe offset (in bits) in pabySrcData to the start of the first word to copy.
nSrcStepthe offset in bits from the start one source word to the start of the next.
pabyDstDatathe destination data buffer.
nDstOffsetthe offset (in bits) in pabyDstData to the start of the first word to copy over.
nDstStepthe offset in bits from the start one word to the start of the next.
nBitCountthe number of bits in a word to be copied.

◆ GDALCopyWords()

void GDALCopyWords ( const void *CPL_RESTRICT  pSrcData,
GDALDataType  eSrcType,
int  nSrcPixelStride,
void *CPL_RESTRICT  pDstData,
GDALDataType  eDstType,
int  nDstPixelStride,
int  nWordCount 
)

Copy pixel words from buffer to buffer.

This function is used to copy pixel word values from one memory buffer to another, with support for conversion between data types, and differing step factors. The data type conversion is done using the normal GDAL rules. Values assigned to a lower range integer type are clipped. For instance assigning GDT_Int16 values to a GDT_Byte buffer will cause values less the 0 to be set to 0, and values larger than 255 to be set to 255. Assignment from floating point to integer uses default C type casting semantics. Assignment from non-complex to complex will result in the imaginary part being set to zero on output. Assignment from complex to non-complex will result in the complex portion being lost and the real component being preserved (not magnitude!).

No assumptions are made about the source or destination words occurring on word boundaries. It is assumed that all values are in native machine byte order.

Parameters
pSrcDataPointer to source data to be converted.
eSrcTypethe source data type (see GDALDataType enum)
nSrcPixelStrideSource pixel stride (i.e. distance between 2 words), in bytes
pDstDataPointer to buffer where destination data should go
eDstTypethe destination data type (see GDALDataType enum)
nDstPixelStrideDestination pixel stride (i.e. distance between 2 words), in bytes
nWordCountnumber of words to be copied
Note
When adding a new data type to GDAL, you must do the following to support it properly within the GDALCopyWords function:
  1. Add the data type to the switch on eSrcType in GDALCopyWords. This should invoke the appropriate GDALCopyWordsFromT wrapper.
  2. Add the data type to the switch on eDstType in GDALCopyWordsFromT. This should call the appropriate GDALCopyWordsT template.
  3. If appropriate, overload the appropriate CopyWord template in the above namespace. This will ensure that any conversion issues are handled (cases like the float -> int32 case, where the min/max) values are subject to roundoff error.

◆ GDALCreatePansharpenedVRT()

GDALDatasetH GDALCreatePansharpenedVRT ( const char *  pszXML,
GDALRasterBandH  hPanchroBand,
int  nInputSpectralBands,
GDALRasterBandH pahInputSpectralBands 
)

Create a virtual pansharpened dataset.

This function will create a virtual pansharpened dataset.

Note that no reference will be taken on the passed bands. Consequently, they or their dataset to which they belong to must be kept open until this virtual pansharpened dataset is closed.

The returned dataset will have no associated filename for itself. If you want to write the virtual dataset description to a file, use the GDALSetDescription() function (or SetDescription() method) on the dataset to assign a filename before it is closed.

Parameters
pszXMLPansharpened VRT XML where <SpectralBand> elements have no explicit SourceFilename and SourceBand. The spectral bands in the XML will be assigned the successive values of the pahInputSpectralBands array. Must not be NULL.
hPanchroBandPanchromatic band. Must not be NULL.
nInputSpectralBandsNumber of input spectral bands. Must be greater than zero.
pahInputSpectralBandsArray of nInputSpectralBands spectral bands.
Returns
NULL on failure, or a new virtual dataset handle on success to be closed with GDALClose().

◆ GDALDatasetCommitTransaction()

OGRErr GDALDatasetCommitTransaction ( GDALDatasetH  hDS)

For datasources which support transactions, CommitTransaction commits a transaction.

If no transaction is active, or the commit fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.

Depending on drivers, this may or may not abort layer sequential readings that are active.

◆ GDALDatasetCopyLayer()

OGRLayerH GDALDatasetCopyLayer ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
OGRLayerH  hSrcLayer,
const char *  pszNewName,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)

Duplicate an existing layer.

This function creates a new layer, duplicate the field definitions of the source layer and then duplicate each features of the source layer. The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation. The source layer may come from another dataset.

This method is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::CopyLayer()

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.

pszNewNamethe name of the layer to create.
papszOptionsa StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific.
Returns
an handle to the layer, or NULL if an error occurs.

◆ GDALDatasetCopyWholeRaster()

CPLErr GDALDatasetCopyWholeRaster ( GDALDatasetH  hSrcDS,
GDALDatasetH  hDstDS,
CSLConstList  papszOptions,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData 
)

Copy all dataset raster data.

This function copies the complete raster contents of one dataset to another similarly configured dataset. The source and destination dataset must have the same number of bands, and the same width and height. The bands do not have to have the same data type.

This function is primarily intended to support implementation of driver specific CreateCopy() functions. It implements efficient copying, in particular "chunking" the copy in substantial blocks and, if appropriate, performing the transfer in a pixel interleaved fashion.

Currently the only papszOptions value supported are :

  • "INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" to force pixel interleaved operation
  • "COMPRESSED=YES" to force alignment on target dataset block sizes to achieve best compression.
  • "SKIP_HOLES=YES" to skip chunks for which GDALGetDataCoverageStatus() returns GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY (GDAL >= 2.2)

More options may be supported in the future.

Parameters
hSrcDSthe source dataset
hDstDSthe destination dataset
papszOptionstransfer hints in "StringList" Name=Value format.
pfnProgressprogress reporting function.
pProgressDatacallback data for progress function.
Returns
CE_None on success, or CE_Failure on failure.

const char *  pszName,
OGRSpatialReferenceH  hSpatialRef,
OGRwkbGeometryType  eGType,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)

This function attempts to create a new layer on the dataset with the indicated name, coordinate system, geometry type.

The papszOptions argument can be used to control driver specific creation options. These options are normally documented in the format specific documentation.

This method is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::CreateLayer().

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle
pszNamethe name for the new layer. This should ideally not match any existing layer on the datasource.
hSpatialRefthe coordinate system to use for the new layer, or NULL if no coordinate system is available. The driver might only increase the reference counter of the object to take ownership, and not make a full copy, so do not use OSRDestroySpatialReference(), but OSRRelease() instead when you are done with the object.
eGTypethe geometry type for the layer. Use wkbUnknown if there are no constraints on the types geometry to be written.
papszOptionsa StringList of name=value options. Options are driver specific.
Returns
NULL is returned on failure, or a new OGRLayer handle on success.

Example:

#include "gdal.h"
#include "cpl_string.h"
...
OGRLayer *poLayer;
char **papszOptions;
if( !poDS->TestCapability( ODsCCreateLayer ) )
{
...
}
papszOptions = CSLSetNameValue( papszOptions, "DIM", "2" );

This method is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::DeleteLayer().

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
iLayerthe index of the layer to delete.
Returns
OGRERR_NONE on success, or OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION if deleting layers is not supported for this datasource.

◆ GDALDatasetExecuteSQL()

OGRLayerH GDALDatasetExecuteSQL ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
const char *  pszStatement,
OGRGeometryH  hSpatialFilter,
const char *  pszDialect 
)

Execute an SQL statement against the data store.

The result of an SQL query is either NULL for statements that are in error, or that have no results set, or an OGRLayer pointer representing a results set from the query. Note that this OGRLayer is in addition to the layers in the data store and must be destroyed with ReleaseResultSet() before the dataset is closed (destroyed).

This method is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::ExecuteSQL()

For more information on the SQL dialect supported internally by OGR review the OGR SQL document. Some drivers (i.e. Oracle and PostGIS) pass the SQL directly through to the underlying RDBMS.

Starting with OGR 1.10, the SQLITE dialect can also be used.

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
pszStatementthe SQL statement to execute.
hSpatialFiltergeometry which represents a spatial filter. Can be NULL.
pszDialectallows control of the statement dialect. If set to NULL, the OGR SQL engine will be used, except for RDBMS drivers that will use their dedicated SQL engine, unless OGRSQL is explicitly passed as the dialect. Starting with OGR 1.10, the SQLITE dialect can also be used.
Returns
an OGRLayer containing the results of the query. Deallocate with ReleaseResultSet().

◆ GDALDatasetGetLayer()

OGRLayerH GDALDatasetGetLayer ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
int  iLayer 
)

The returned layer remains owned by the GDALDataset and should not be deleted by the application.

This function is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::GetLayer()

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
iLayera layer number between 0 and GetLayerCount()-1.
Returns
the layer, or NULL if iLayer is out of range or an error occurs.

◆ GDALDatasetGetLayerByName()

OGRLayerH GDALDatasetGetLayerByName ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
const char *  pszName 
)

Fetch a layer by name.

The returned layer remains owned by the GDALDataset and should not be deleted by the application.

This function is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::GetLayerByName()

Since
GDAL 2.0
Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
pszNamethe layer name of the layer to fetch.
Returns
the layer, or NULL if Layer is not found or an error occurs.

◆ GDALDatasetGetLayerCount()

int GDALDatasetGetLayerCount ( GDALDatasetH  hDS)

Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
Returns
layer count.

◆ GDALDatasetGetNextFeature()

OGRFeatureH GDALDatasetGetNextFeature ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
OGRLayerH phBelongingLayer,
double *  pdfProgressPct,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData 
)

Fetch the next available feature from this dataset.

This method is intended for the few drivers where OGR_L_GetNextFeature() is not efficient, but in general OGR_L_GetNextFeature() is a more natural API.

The returned feature becomes the responsibility of the caller to delete with OGRFeature::DestroyFeature().

Depending on the driver, this method may return features from layers in a non sequential way. This is what may happen when the ODsCRandomLayerRead capability is declared (for example for the OSM and GMLAS drivers). When datasets declare this capability, it is strongly advised to use GDALDataset::GetNextFeature() instead of OGRLayer::GetNextFeature(), as the later might have a slow, incomplete or stub implementation.

The default implementation, used by most drivers, will however iterate over each layer, and then over each feature within this layer.

This method takes into account spatial and attribute filters set on layers that will be iterated upon.

The ResetReading() method can be used to start at the beginning again.

Depending on drivers, this may also have the side effect of calling OGRLayer::GetNextFeature() on the layers of this dataset.

This method is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::GetNextFeature()

Parameters
hDSdataset handle.
phBelongingLayera pointer to a OGRLayer* variable to receive the layer to which the object belongs to, or NULL. It is possible that the output of *ppoBelongingLayer to be NULL despite the feature not being NULL.
pdfProgressPcta pointer to a double variable to receive the percentage progress (in [0,1] range), or NULL. On return, the pointed value might be negative if determining the progress is not possible.
pfnProgressa progress callback to report progress (for GetNextFeature() calls that might have a long duration) and offer cancellation possibility, or NULL
pProgressDatauser data provided to pfnProgress, or NULL
Returns
a feature, or NULL if no more features are available.
Since
GDAL 2.2

◆ GDALDatasetGetStyleTable()

◆ GDALDatasetGetTiledVirtualMem()

CPLVirtualMem* GDALDatasetGetTiledVirtualMem ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
GDALRWFlag  eRWFlag,
int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
int  nTileXSize,
int  nTileYSize,
GDALDataType  eBufType,
int  nBandCount,
int *  panBandMap,
GDALTileOrganization  eTileOrganization,
size_t  nCacheSize,
int  bSingleThreadUsage,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)

Create a CPLVirtualMem object from a GDAL dataset object, with tiling organization.

Only supported on Linux for now.

This method allows creating a virtual memory object for a region of one or more GDALRasterBands from this dataset. The content of the virtual memory object is automatically filled from dataset content when a virtual memory page is first accessed, and it is released (or flushed in case of a "dirty" page) when the cache size limit has been reached.

Contrary to GDALDatasetGetVirtualMem(), pixels will be organized by tiles instead of scanlines. Different ways of organizing pixel within/across tiles can be selected with the eTileOrganization parameter.

If nXSize is not a multiple of nTileXSize or nYSize is not a multiple of nTileYSize, partial tiles will exists at the right and/or bottom of the region of interest. Those partial tiles will also have nTileXSize * nTileYSize dimension, with padding pixels.

The pointer to access the virtual memory object is obtained with CPLVirtualMemGetAddr(). It remains valid until CPLVirtualMemFree() is called. CPLVirtualMemFree() must be called before the dataset object is destroyed.

If p is such a pointer and base_type the C type matching eBufType, for default values of spacing parameters, the element of image coordinates (x, y) (relative to xOff, yOff) for band b can be accessed with:

  • for eTileOrganization = GTO_TIP, ((base_type*)p)[tile_number(x,y)*nBandCount*tile_size + offset_in_tile(x,y)*nBandCount + (b-1)].
  • for eTileOrganization = GTO_BIT, ((base_type*)p)[(tile_number(x,y)*nBandCount + (b-1)) * tile_size + offset_in_tile(x,y)].
  • for eTileOrganization = GTO_BSQ, ((base_type*)p)[(tile_number(x,y) + (b-1)*nTilesCount) * tile_size + offset_in_tile(x,y)].

where nTilesPerRow = ceil(nXSize / nTileXSize) nTilesPerCol = ceil(nYSize / nTileYSize) nTilesCount = nTilesPerRow * nTilesPerCol tile_number(x,y) = (y / nTileYSize) * nTilesPerRow + (x / nTileXSize) offset_in_tile(x,y) = (y % nTileYSize) * nTileXSize + (x % nTileXSize) tile_size = nTileXSize * nTileYSize

Note that for a single band request, all tile organizations are equivalent.

Note that the mechanism used to transparently fill memory pages when they are accessed is the same (but in a controlled way) than what occurs when a memory error occurs in a program. Debugging software will generally interrupt program execution when that happens. If needed, CPLVirtualMemPin() can be used to avoid that by ensuring memory pages are allocated before being accessed.

The size of the region that can be mapped as a virtual memory object depends on hardware and operating system limitations. On Linux AMD64 platforms, the maximum value is 128 TB. On Linux x86 platforms, the maximum value is 2 GB.

Data type translation is automatically done if the data type (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand.

Parameters
hDSDataset object
eRWFlagEither GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to write a region of data.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nTileXSizethe width of the tiles.
nTileYSizethe height of the tiles.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
eTileOrganizationtile organization.
nCacheSizesize in bytes of the maximum memory that will be really allocated (must ideally fit into RAM)
bSingleThreadUsageset to TRUE if there will be no concurrent threads that will access the virtual memory mapping. This can optimize performance a bit. If set to FALSE, CPLVirtualMemDeclareThread() must be called.
papszOptionsNULL terminated list of options. Unused for now.
Returns
a virtual memory object that must be freed by CPLVirtualMemFree(), or NULL in case of failure.

The size of the region that can be mapped as a virtual memory object depends on hardware and operating system limitations. On Linux AMD64 platforms, the maximum value is 128 TB. On Linux x86 platforms, the maximum value is 2 GB.

Data type translation is automatically done if the data type (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand.

Image decimation / replication is currently not supported, i.e. if the size of the region being accessed (nXSize x nYSize) is different from the buffer size (nBufXSize x nBufYSize).

The nPixelSpace, nLineSpace and nBandSpace parameters allow reading into or writing from various organization of buffers. Arbitrary values for the spacing parameters are not supported. Those values must be multiple of the size of thebuffer data type, and must be either band sequential organization (typically nPixelSpace = GDALGetDataTypeSizeBytes(eBufType), nLineSpace = nPixelSpace * nBufXSize, nBandSpace = nLineSpace * nBufYSize), or pixel-interleaved organization (typically nPixelSpace = nBandSpace * nBandCount, nLineSpace = nPixelSpace * nBufXSize, nBandSpace = GDALGetDataTypeSizeBytes(eBufType))

Parameters
hDSDataset object
eRWFlagEither GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to write a region of data.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.

nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nBandCountthe number of bands being read or written.
panBandMapthe list of nBandCount band numbers being read/written. Note band numbers are 1 based. This may be NULL to select the first nBandCount bands.
nPixelSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one pixel value in the buffer to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType is used.
nLineSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one scanline in the buffer to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType * nBufXSize is used.
nBandSpacethe byte offset from the start of one bands data to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the value will be nLineSpace * nBufYSize implying band sequential organization of the data buffer.
nCacheSizesize in bytes of the maximum memory that will be really allocated (must ideally fit into RAM)
nPageSizeHinthint for the page size. Must be a multiple of the system page size, returned by CPLGetPageSize(). Minimum value is generally 4096. Might be set to 0 to let the function determine a default page size.
bSingleThreadUsageset to TRUE if there will be no concurrent threads that will access the virtual memory mapping. This can optimize performance a bit. If set to FALSE, CPLVirtualMemDeclareThread() must be called.

◆ GDALDatasetStartTransaction()

OGRErr GDALDatasetStartTransaction ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,
int  bForce 
)

For datasources which support transactions, StartTransaction creates a transaction.

If starting the transaction fails, will return OGRERR_FAILURE. Datasources which do not support transactions will always return OGRERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION.

Nested transactions are not supported.

All changes done after the start of the transaction are definitely applied in the datasource if CommitTransaction() is called. They may be canceled by calling RollbackTransaction() instead.

At the time of writing, transactions only apply on vector layers.

Datasets that support transactions will advertise the ODsCTransactions capability. Use of transactions at dataset level is generally preferred to transactions at layer level, whose scope is rarely limited to the layer from which it was started.

In case StartTransaction() fails, neither CommitTransaction() or RollbackTransaction() should be called.

If an error occurs after a successful StartTransaction(), the whole transaction may or may not be implicitly canceled, depending on drivers. (e.g. the PG driver will cancel it, SQLite/GPKG not). In any case, in the event of an error, an explicit call to RollbackTransaction() should be done to keep things balanced.

By default, when bForce is set to FALSE, only "efficient" transactions will be attempted. Some drivers may offer an emulation of transactions, but sometimes with significant overhead, in which case the user must explicitly allow for such an emulation by setting bForce to TRUE. Drivers that offer emulated transactions should advertise the ODsCEmulatedTransactions capability (and not ODsCTransactions).

This function is the same as the C++ method GDALDataset::StartTransaction()

Parameters
hDSthe dataset handle.
bForcecan be set to TRUE if an emulation, possibly slow, of a transaction mechanism is acceptable.
Returns
OGRERR_NONE on success.

◆ GDALDatasetTestCapability()

int GDALDatasetTestCapability ( GDALDatasetH  hDS,

Test if capability is available.

One of the following dataset capability names can be passed into this function, and a TRUE or FALSE value will be returned indicating whether or not the capability is available for this object.

  • ODsCCreateLayer: True if this datasource can create new layers.

  • ODsCDeleteLayer: True if this datasource can delete existing layers.

  • ODsCCreateGeomFieldAfterCreateLayer: True if the layers of this datasource support CreateGeomField() just after layer creation.

  • ODsCCurveGeometries: True if this datasource supports curve geometries.

  • ODsCTransactions: True if this datasource supports (efficient) transactions.

  • ODsCEmulatedTransactions: True if this datasource supports transactions through emulation.

  • ODsCRandomLayerRead: True if this datasource has a dedicated GetNextFeature() implementation, potentially returning features from layers in a non sequential way.

  • ODsCRandomLayerWrite: True if this datasource supports calling CreateFeature() on layers in a non sequential way.

The #define macro forms of the capability names should be used in preference to the strings themselves to avoid misspelling.

◆ GDALGCPsToGeoTransform()

int GDALGCPsToGeoTransform ( int  nGCPCount,
const GDAL_GCP pasGCPs,
double *  padfGeoTransform,
int  bApproxOK 
)

Generate Geotransform from GCPs.

Given a set of GCPs perform first order fit as a geotransform.

Due to imprecision in the calculations the fit algorithm will often return non-zero rotational coefficients even if given perfectly non-rotated inputs. A special case has been implemented for corner corner coordinates given in TL, TR, BR, BL order. So when using this to get a geotransform from 4 corner coordinates, pass them in this order.

Starting with GDAL 2.2.2, if bApproxOK = FALSE, the GDAL_GCPS_TO_GEOTRANSFORM_APPROX_OK configuration option will be read. If set to YES, then bApproxOK will be overridden with TRUE. Starting with GDAL 2.2.2, when exact fit is asked, the GDAL_GCPS_TO_GEOTRANSFORM_APPROX_THRESHOLD configuration option can be set to give the maximum error threshold in pixel. The default is 0.25.

Parameters
nGCPCountthe number of GCPs being passed in.
pasGCPsthe list of GCP structures.
padfGeoTransformthe six double array in which the affine geotransformation will be returned.
bApproxOKIf FALSE the function will fail if the geotransform is not essentially an exact fit (within 0.25 pixel) for all GCPs.
Returns
TRUE on success or FALSE if there aren't enough points to prepare a geotransform, the pointers are ill-determined or if bApproxOK is FALSE and the fit is poor.

◆ GDALGeneralCmdLineProcessor()

int GDALGeneralCmdLineProcessor ( int  nArgc,
char ***  ppapszArgv,
int  nOptions 
)

General utility option processing.

–version: report version of GDAL in use. –build: report build info about GDAL in use. –license: report GDAL license info. –formats: report all format drivers configured. –format [format]: report details of one format driver. –optfile filename: expand an option file into the argument list. –config key value: set system configuration option. –debug [on/off/value]: set debug level. –mempreload dir: preload directory contents into /vsimem –pause: Pause for user input (allows time to attach debugger) –locale [locale]: Install a locale using setlocale() (debugging) –help-general: report detailed help on general options.

The argument array is replaced "in place" and should be freed with CSLDestroy() when no longer needed. The typical usage looks something like the following. Note that the formats should be registered so that the –formats and –format options will work properly.

int main( int argc, char ** argv ) { GDALAllRegister();

argc = GDALGeneralCmdLineProcessor( argc, &argv, 0 ); if( argc < 1 ) exit( -argc );

Parameters
nArgcnumber of values in the argument list.
ppapszArgvpointer to the argument list array (will be updated in place).
nOptionsa or-able combination of GDAL_OF_RASTER and GDAL_OF_VECTOR to determine which drivers should be displayed by –formats. If set to 0, GDAL_OF_RASTER is assumed.

◆ GDALGetDataCoverageStatus()

int GDALGetDataCoverageStatus ( GDALRasterBandH  hBand,
int  nXOff,
int  nYOff,
int  nXSize,
int  nYSize,
int  nMaskFlagStop,
double *  pdfDataPct 
)

Get the coverage status of a sub-window of the raster.

Returns whether a sub-window of the raster contains only data, only empty blocks or a mix of both. This function can be used to determine quickly if it is worth issuing RasterIO / ReadBlock requests in datasets that may be sparse.

Empty blocks are blocks that are generally not physically present in the file, and when read through GDAL, contain only pixels whose value is the nodata value when it is set, or whose value is 0 when the nodata value is not set.

The query is done in an efficient way without reading the actual pixel values. If not possible, or not implemented at all by the driver, GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_UNIMPLEMENTED | GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA will be returned.

The values that can be returned by the function are the following, potentially combined with the binary or operator :

  • GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_UNIMPLEMENTED : the driver does not implement GetDataCoverageStatus(). This flag should be returned together with GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA.
  • GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA: There is (potentially) data in the queried window.
  • GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY: There is nodata in the queried window. This is typically identified by the concept of missing block in formats that supports it.

Note that GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA might have false positives and should be interpreted more as hint of potential presence of data. For example if a GeoTIFF file is created with blocks filled with zeroes (or set to the nodata value), instead of using the missing block mechanism, GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA will be returned. On the contrary, GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY should have no false positives.

The nMaskFlagStop should be generally set to 0. It can be set to a binary-or'ed mask of the above mentioned values to enable a quick exiting of the function as soon as the computed mask matches the nMaskFlagStop. For example, you can issue a request on the whole raster with nMaskFlagStop = GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY. As soon as one missing block is encountered, the function will exit, so that you can potentially refine the requested area to find which particular region(s) have missing blocks.

See also
GDALRasterBand::GetDataCoverageStatus()
Parameters
hBandraster band
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be queried. This would be zero to start from the left side.

nMaskFlagStop0, or a binary-or'ed mask of possible values GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_UNIMPLEMENTED, GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA and GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY. As soon as the computation of the coverage matches the mask, the computation will be stopped. *pdfDataPct will not be valid in that case.
pdfDataPctOptional output parameter whose pointed value will be set to the (approximate) percentage in [0,100] of pixels in the queried sub-window that have valid values. The implementation might not always be able to compute it, in which case it will be set to a negative value.
Returns
a binary-or'ed combination of possible values GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_UNIMPLEMENTED, GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_DATA and GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY

◆ GDALIdentifyDriver()

GDALDriverH GDALIdentifyDriver ( const char *  pszFilename,
CSLConstList  papszFileList 
)

Identify the driver that can open a raster file.

This function will try to identify the driver that can open the passed file name by invoking the Identify method of each registered GDALDriver in turn. The first driver that successful identifies the file name will be returned. If all drivers fail then NULL is returned.

In order to reduce the need for such searches touch the operating system file system machinery, it is possible to give an optional list of files. This is the list of all files at the same level in the file system as the target file, including the target file. The filenames will not include any path components, are essentially just the output of VSIReadDir() on the parent directory. If the target object does not have filesystem semantics then the file list should be NULL.

Parameters
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset.
papszFileListan array of strings, whose last element is the NULL pointer. These strings are filenames that are auxiliary to the main filename. The passed value may be NULL.
Returns
A GDALDriverH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDriver *.

◆ GDALLoadWorldFile()

int GDALLoadWorldFile ( const char *  pszFilename,
double *  padfGeoTransform 
)

Read ESRI world file.

This function reads an ESRI style world file, and formats a geotransform from its contents.

The world file contains an affine transformation with the parameters in a different order than in a geotransform array.

  • geotransform[1] : width of pixel
  • geotransform[4] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[2] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[5] : height of pixel (but negative)
  • geotransform[0] + 0.5 * geotransform[1] + 0.5 * geotransform[2] : x offset to center of top left pixel.
  • geotransform[3] + 0.5 * geotransform[4] + 0.5 * geotransform[5] : y offset to center of top left pixel.
Parameters
pszFilenamethe world file name.
padfGeoTransformthe six double array into which the geotransformation should be placed.
Returns
TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

◆ GDALOpen()

GDALDatasetH GDALOpen ( const char *  pszFilename,
GDALAccess  eAccess 
)

Open a raster file as a GDALDataset.

This function will try to open the passed file, or virtual dataset name by invoking the Open method of each registered GDALDriver in turn. The first successful open will result in a returned dataset. If all drivers fail then NULL is returned and an error is issued.

Several recommendations :

  • If you open a dataset object with GA_Update access, it is not recommended to open a new dataset on the same underlying file.
  • The returned dataset should only be accessed by one thread at a time. If you want to use it from different threads, you must add all necessary code (mutexes, etc.) to avoid concurrent use of the object. (Some drivers, such as GeoTIFF, maintain internal state variables that are updated each time a new block is read, thus preventing concurrent use.)

For drivers supporting the VSI virtual file API, it is possible to open a file in a .zip archive (see VSIInstallZipFileHandler()), in a .tar/.tar.gz/.tgz archive (see VSIInstallTarFileHandler()) or on a HTTP / FTP server (see VSIInstallCurlFileHandler())

In some situations (dealing with unverified data), the datasets can be opened in another process through the GDAL API Proxy mechanism.

GDALOpenShared()
GDALOpenEx()
Parameters
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset. It should be in UTF-8 encoding.
eAccessthe desired access, either GA_Update or GA_ReadOnly. Many drivers support only read only access.
Returns
A GDALDatasetH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDataset *.

◆ GDALOpenEx()

GDALDatasetH GDALOpenEx ( const char *  pszFilename,
unsigned int  nOpenFlags,
const char *const *  papszAllowedDrivers,
const char *const *  papszOpenOptions,
const char *const *  papszSiblingFiles 
)

Open a raster or vector file as a GDALDataset.

This function will try to open the passed file, or virtual dataset name by invoking the Open method of each registered GDALDriver in turn. The first successful open will result in a returned dataset. If all drivers fail then NULL is returned and an error is issued.

Several recommendations :

  • If you open a dataset object with GDAL_OF_UPDATE access, it is not recommended to open a new dataset on the same underlying file.
  • The returned dataset should only be accessed by one thread at a time. If you want to use it from different threads, you must add all necessary code (mutexes, etc.) to avoid concurrent use of the object. (Some drivers, such as GeoTIFF, maintain internal state variables that are updated each time a new block is read, thus preventing concurrent use.)

For drivers supporting the VSI virtual file API, it is possible to open a file in a .zip archive (see VSIInstallZipFileHandler()), in a .tar/.tar.gz/.tgz archive (see VSIInstallTarFileHandler()) or on a HTTP / FTP server (see VSIInstallCurlFileHandler())

In some situations (dealing with unverified data), the datasets can be opened in another process through the GDAL API Proxy mechanism.

In order to reduce the need for searches through the operating system file system machinery, it is possible to give an optional list of files with the papszSiblingFiles parameter. This is the list of all files at the same level in the file system as the target file, including the target file. The filenames must not include any path components, are essentially just the output of VSIReadDir() on the parent directory. If the target object does not have filesystem semantics then the file list should be NULL.

Parameters
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset. It should be in UTF-8 encoding.
nOpenFlagsa combination of GDAL_OF_ flags that may be combined through logical or operator.
  • Driver kind: GDAL_OF_RASTER for raster drivers, GDAL_OF_VECTOR for vector drivers, GDAL_OF_GNM for Geographic Network Model drivers. If none of the value is specified, all kinds are implied.
  • Access mode: GDAL_OF_READONLY (exclusive)or GDAL_OF_UPDATE.
  • Shared mode: GDAL_OF_SHARED. If set, it allows the sharing of GDALDataset handles for a dataset with other callers that have set GDAL_OF_SHARED. In particular, GDALOpenEx() will first consult its list of currently open and shared GDALDataset's, and if the GetDescription() name for one exactly matches the pszFilename passed to GDALOpenEx() it will be referenced and returned, if GDALOpenEx() is called from the same thread.
  • Verbose error: GDAL_OF_VERBOSE_ERROR. If set, a failed attempt to open the file will lead to an error message to be reported.
papszAllowedDriversNULL to consider all candidate drivers, or a NULL terminated list of strings with the driver short names that must be considered.
papszOpenOptionsNULL, or a NULL terminated list of strings with open options passed to candidate drivers. An option exists for all drivers, OVERVIEW_LEVEL=level, to select a particular overview level of a dataset. The level index starts at 0. The level number can be suffixed by "only" to specify that only this overview level must be visible, and not sub-levels. Open options are validated by default, and a warning is emitted in case the option is not recognized. In some scenarios, it might be not desirable (e.g. when not knowing which driver will open the file), so the special open option VALIDATE_OPEN_OPTIONS can be set to NO to avoid such warnings. Alternatively, since GDAL 2.1, an option name can be preceded by the @ character to indicate that it may not cause a warning if the driver doesn't declare this option.
papszSiblingFilesNULL, or a NULL terminated list of strings that are filenames that are auxiliary to the main filename. If NULL is passed, a probing of the file system will be done.
Returns
A GDALDatasetH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDataset *.

GDAL 2.0

◆ GDALOpenShared()

GDALDatasetH GDALOpenShared ( const char *  pszFilename,
GDALAccess  eAccess 
)

Open a raster file as a GDALDataset.

This function works the same as GDALOpen(), but allows the sharing of GDALDataset handles for a dataset with other callers to GDALOpenShared().

In particular, GDALOpenShared() will first consult its list of currently open and shared GDALDataset's, and if the GetDescription() name for one exactly matches the pszFilename passed to GDALOpenShared() it will be referenced and returned.

Starting with GDAL 1.6.0, if GDALOpenShared() is called on the same pszFilename from two different threads, a different GDALDataset object will be returned as it is not safe to use the same dataset from different threads, unless the user does explicitly use mutexes in its code.

For drivers supporting the VSI virtual file API, it is possible to open a file in a .zip archive (see VSIInstallZipFileHandler()), in a .tar/.tar.gz/.tgz archive (see VSIInstallTarFileHandler()) or on a HTTP / FTP server (see VSIInstallCurlFileHandler())

In some situations (dealing with unverified data), the datasets can be opened in another process through the GDAL API Proxy mechanism.

void *  pProgressData 
)

Copy a whole raster band.

This function copies the complete raster contents of one band to another similarly configured band. The source and destination bands must have the same width and height. The bands do not have to have the same data type.

It implements efficient copying, in particular "chunking" the copy in substantial blocks.

Currently the only papszOptions value supported are :

  • "COMPRESSED=YES" to force alignment on target dataset block sizes to achieve best compression.
  • "SKIP_HOLES=YES" to skip chunks for which GDALGetDataCoverageStatus() returns GDAL_DATA_COVERAGE_STATUS_EMPTY (GDAL >= 2.2)
Parameters
hSrcBandthe source band
hDstBandthe destination band
papszOptionstransfer hints in "StringList" Name=Value format.
pfnProgressprogress reporting function.
pProgressDatacallback data for progress function.
Returns
CE_None on success, or CE_Failure on failure.

int  nTileYSize,
GDALDataType  eBufType,
size_t  nCacheSize,
int  bSingleThreadUsage,
CSLConstList  papszOptions 
)

Create a CPLVirtualMem object from a GDAL rasterband object, with tiling organization.

Only supported on Linux for now.

This method allows creating a virtual memory object for a region of one GDALRasterBand. The content of the virtual memory object is automatically filled from dataset content when a virtual memory page is first accessed, and it is released (or flushed in case of a "dirty" page) when the cache size limit has been reached.

Contrary to GDALDatasetGetVirtualMem(), pixels will be organized by tiles instead of scanlines.

If nXSize is not a multiple of nTileXSize or nYSize is not a multiple of nTileYSize, partial tiles will exists at the right and/or bottom of the region of interest. Those partial tiles will also have nTileXSize * nTileYSize dimension, with padding pixels.

The pointer to access the virtual memory object is obtained with CPLVirtualMemGetAddr(). It remains valid until CPLVirtualMemFree() is called. CPLVirtualMemFree() must be called before the raster band object is destroyed.

If p is such a pointer and base_type the C type matching eBufType, for default values of spacing parameters, the element of image coordinates (x, y) (relative to xOff, yOff) can be accessed with: ((base_type*)p)[tile_number(x,y)*tile_size + offset_in_tile(x,y)].

where nTilesPerRow = ceil(nXSize / nTileXSize) nTilesCount = nTilesPerRow * nTilesPerCol tile_number(x,y) = (y / nTileYSize) * nTilesPerRow + (x / nTileXSize) offset_in_tile(x,y) = (y % nTileYSize) * nTileXSize + (x % nTileXSize) tile_size = nTileXSize * nTileYSize

Note that the mechanism used to transparently fill memory pages when they are accessed is the same (but in a controlled way) than what occurs when a memory error occurs in a program. Debugging software will generally interrupt program execution when that happens. If needed, CPLVirtualMemPin() can be used to avoid that by ensuring memory pages are allocated before being accessed.

The size of the region that can be mapped as a virtual memory object depends on hardware and operating system limitations. On Linux AMD64 platforms, the maximum value is 128 TB. On Linux x86 platforms, the maximum value is 2 GB.

Data type translation is automatically done if the data type (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand.

Parameters
hBandRasterband object
eRWFlagEither GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to write a region of data.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nTileXSizethe width of the tiles.
nTileYSizethe height of the tiles.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nCacheSizesize in bytes of the maximum memory that will be really allocated (must ideally fit into RAM)
bSingleThreadUsageset to TRUE if there will be no concurrent threads that will access the virtual memory mapping. This can optimize performance a bit. If set to FALSE, CPLVirtualMemDeclareThread() must be called.
papszOptionsNULL terminated list of options. Unused for now.
Returns
a virtual memory object that must be freed by CPLVirtualMemFree(), or NULL in case of failure.

Create a CPLVirtualMem object from a GDAL raster band object.

Only supported on Linux for now.

This method allows creating a virtual memory object for a region of a GDALRasterBand. The content of the virtual memory object is automatically filled from dataset content when a virtual memory page is first accessed, and it is released (or flushed in case of a "dirty" page) when the cache size limit has been reached.

The pointer to access the virtual memory object is obtained with CPLVirtualMemGetAddr(). It remains valid until CPLVirtualMemFree() is called. CPLVirtualMemFree() must be called before the raster band object is destroyed.

If p is such a pointer and base_type the C type matching eBufType, for values of spacing parameters, the element of image coordinates (x, y) default (relative to xOff, yOff) can be accessed with ((base_type*)p)[x + y * nBufXSize].

Note that the mechanism used to transparently fill memory pages when they are accessed is the same (but in a controlled way) than what occurs when a memory error occurs in a program. Debugging software will generally interrupt program execution when that happens. If needed, CPLVirtualMemPin() can be used to avoid that by ensuring memory pages are allocated before being accessed.

The size of the region that can be mapped as a virtual memory object depends on hardware and operating system limitations. On Linux AMD64 platforms, the maximum value is 128 TB. On Linux x86 platforms, the maximum value is 2 GB.

Data type translation is automatically done if the data type (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand.

Image decimation / replication is currently not supported, i.e. if the size of the region being accessed (nXSize x nYSize) is different from the buffer size (nBufXSize x nBufYSize).

The nPixelSpace and nLineSpace parameters allow reading into or writing from various organization of buffers. Arbitrary values for the spacing parameters are not supported. Those values must be multiple of the size of the buffer data type and must be such that nLineSpace >= nPixelSpace * nBufXSize.

Parameters
hBandRasterband object
eRWFlagEither GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to write a region of data.
nXOffThe pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
nYOffThe line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
nXSizeThe width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
nYSizeThe height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
nBufXSizethe width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
nBufYSizethe height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
eBufTypethe type of the pixel values in the data buffer. The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
nPixelSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one pixel value in the buffer to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType is used.
nLineSpaceThe byte offset from the start of one scanline in the buffer to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype eBufType * nBufXSize is used.

If no extension is provided, the code will internally try the unix style and windows style world file extensions (eg. for .tif these would be .tfw and .tifw).

The world file contains an affine transformation with the parameters in a different order than in a geotransform array.

  • geotransform[1] : width of pixel
  • geotransform[4] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[2] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[5] : height of pixel (but negative)
  • geotransform[0] + 0.5 * geotransform[1] + 0.5 * geotransform[2] : x offset to center of top left pixel.
  • geotransform[3] + 0.5 * geotransform[4] + 0.5 * geotransform[5] : y offset to center of top left pixel.
Parameters
pszBaseFilenamethe target raster file.

int  nOverviewCount,
GDALRasterBandH pahOvrBands,
const char *  pszResampling,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData 
)

Generate downsampled overviews.

This function will generate one or more overview images from a base image using the requested downsampling algorithm.

The output bands need to exist in advance.

The full set of resampling algorithms is documented in GDALDataset::BuildOverviews().

This function will honour properly NODATA_VALUES tuples (special dataset metadata) so that only a given RGB triplet (in case of a RGB image) will be considered as the nodata value and not each value of the triplet independently per band.

Parameters
hSrcBandthe source (base level) band.
nOverviewCountthe number of downsampled bands being generated.
pahOvrBandsthe list of downsampled bands to be generated.
pszResamplingResampling algorithm (e.g. "AVERAGE").
