\section gdal_utilities_creating Creating New Files

Access an existing file to read it is generally quite simple.  Just
indicate the name of the file or dataset on the command line.  However,
creating a file is more complicated.  It may be necessary to indicate the
the format to create, various creation options affecting how it will
be created and perhaps a coordinate system to be assigned.  Many of
these options are handled similarly by different GDAL utilities, and are
introduced here. <p>

<dl>
<dt> <b>-of</b> <i>format</i></dt><dd>
Select the format to create the new file as.  The formats are assigned short
names such as GTiff (for GeoTIFF) or HFA (for Erdas Imagine).  The list of
all format codes can be listed with the <b>\-\-formats</b> switch.  Only
formats list as "(rw)" (read-write) can be written.<p>
Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the format is guessed from the
extension (previously was generally GTiff for raster, or ESRI Shapefile for
vector).
</dd>

<dt> <b>-co</b> <i>NAME=VALUE</i></dt><dd>
Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be used
to control particulars about the file created.  For instance, the GeoTIFF
driver supports creation options to control compression, and whether the file
should be tiled.<p>
The creation options available vary by format driver, and some simple
formats have no creation options at all.  A list of options supported
for a format can be listed with the "--format <format>" command line
option but the web page for the format is the definitive source of
information on driver creation options. See <a class="el"
href="formats_list.html" title="GDAL Raster Formats">format specific
documentation for legal creation options for each format</a><p>
</dd>

<dt> <b>-a_srs</b> <i>SRS</i></dt><dd>
Several utilities, (gdal_translate and gdalwarp) include the ability
to specify coordinate systems with command line options like
<b>-a_srs</b> (assign SRS to output), <b>-s_srs</b> (source SRS) and
<b>-t_srs</b> (target SRS).<p>
These utilities allow the coordinate system (SRS = spatial reference system)
to be assigned in a variety of formats.<p>

<ul>
<li> <b>NAD27</b>/<b>NAD83</b>/<b>WGS84</b>/<b>WGS72</b>:
These common geographic (lat/long) coordinate
systems can be used directly by these names.

<li> <b>EPSG:</b><i>n</i>: Coordinate systems (projected or geographic) can
be selected based on their EPSG codes, for instance EPSG:27700 is the British
National Grid.  A list of EPSG coordinate systems can be found in the GDAL
data files gcs.csv and pcs.csv.

<li> <i>PROJ.4 Definitions</i>: A PROJ.4 definition string can be used
as a coordinate system.  For instance "+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84".
Take care to keep the proj.4 string together as a single argument to the
command (usually by double quoting). <p>

<li> <i>OpenGIS Well Known Text</i>: The Open GIS Consortium has defined
a textual format for describing coordinate systems as part of the Simple
Features specifications.  This format is the internal working format
for coordinate systems used in GDAL.  The name of a file containing a
WKT coordinate system definition may be used a coordinate system argument,
or the entire coordinate system itself may be used as a command line
option (though escaping all the quotes in WKT is quite challenging). <p>

<li> <i>ESRI Well Known Text</i>: ESRI uses a slight variation on OGC WKT
format in their ArcGIS product (ArcGIS .prj files), and these may be used
in a similar manner to WKT files, but the filename should be prefixed with
<b>ESRI::</b>.  For example <b>"ESRI::NAD 1927 StatePlane Wyoming West FIPS 4904.prj"</b>. <p>

<li> <i>Spatial References from URLs</i>: For example
http://spatialreference.org/ref/user/north-pacific-albers-conic-equal-area/.<p>

<li> <i>filename</i>: The name of a file containing WKT, PROJ.4 strings, or
XML/GML coordinate system definitions can be provided. <p>

</ul>
</dd>
</dl>

\section gdal_utilities_switches General Command Line Switches
All GDAL command line utility programs support the following
"general" options.<p>

<dl>
<dt> <b>\-\-version</b></dt><dd> Report the version of GDAL and exit.</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-formats</b></dt><dd> List all raster formats supported by this
GDAL build (read-only and read-write) and exit. The format support is indicated
 as follows: 'ro' is read-only driver;
'rw' is read or write (i.e. supports CreateCopy);
'rw+' is read, write and update (i.e. supports Create).
A 'v' is appended for formats supporting virtual IO (/vsimem, /vsigzip, /vsizip, etc).
A 's' is appended for formats supporting subdatasets.
Note: The valid formats for the output of gdalwarp are formats that support the
Create() method (marked as rw+), not just the CreateCopy() method.
</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-format</b> <i>format</i></dt><dd>
List detailed information about a single format driver.  The <i>format</i>
should be the short name reported in the <b>\-\-formats</b> list, such as
GTiff.</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-optfile</b> <i>file</i></dt><dd>
Read the named file and substitute the contents into the command line
options list.  Lines beginning with # will be ignored.  Multi-word arguments
may be kept together with double quotes.
</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-config</b> <i>key value</i></dt><dd>
Sets the named <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions">
configuration keyword</a> to the given value, as opposed to
setting them as environment variables.  Some common configuration keywords
are GDAL_CACHEMAX (memory used internally for caching in megabytes)
and GDAL_DATA (path of the GDAL "data" directory).  Individual drivers may
be influenced by other configuration options.
</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-debug</b> <i>value</i></dt><dd>
Control what debugging messages are emitted.  A value of <i>ON</i> will
enable all debug messages.  A value of <i>OFF</i> will disable all debug
messages.  Another value will select only debug messages containing that
string in the debug prefix code.
</dd>

<dt> <b>\-\-help-general</b></dt><dd>
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL command line options
and exit.
</dd>

\section gdal_translate_description DESCRIPTION

The gdal_translate utility can be used to convert raster data between
different formats, potentially performing some operations like subsettings,
resampling, and rescaling pixels in the process.

<dl>
<dt> <b>-ot</b>: <i>type</i></dt><dd> For the output bands to be of the
indicated data type.</dd>
<dt> <b>-strict</b>:</dt><dd> Don't be forgiving of mismatches and lost data
when translating to the output format.</dd>
<dt> <b>-of</b> <i>format</i>:</dt><dd> Select the output format. Starting with
GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the format is guessed from the extension (previously
was GTiff). Use the short format name.</dd>
<dt> <b>-b</b> <i>band</i>:</dt><dd> Select an input band <i>band</i> for
output. Bands are numbered from 1. Multiple <b>-b</b> switches may be used
to select a set of input bands to write to the output file, or to reorder
bands. Starting with GDAL 1.8.0, <i>band</i> can also be set to "mask,1"
(or just "mask") to mean the mask band of the first band of the input dataset.</dd>
<dt> <b>-mask</b> <i>band</i>:</dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.8.0) Select an input band
<i>band</i> to create output dataset mask band. Bands are numbered from 1.
<i>band</i> can be set to "none" to avoid copying the global mask of the input dataset if
it exists. Otherwise it is copied by default ("auto"), unless the mask is an alpha channel,
or if it is explicitly used to be a regular band of the output dataset ("-b mask").
<i>band</i> can also be set to "mask,1" (or just "mask") to mean the mask band of
the 1st band of the input dataset.</dd>
<dt> <b>-expand</b> <i>gray|rgb|rgba</i>:</dt><dd> (From GDAL 1.6.0) To expose a dataset with 1 band
with a color table as a dataset with 3 (RGB) or 4 (RGBA) bands. Useful for
output drivers such as JPEG, JPEG2000, MrSID, ECW that don't support color
indexed datasets. The 'gray' value (from GDAL 1.7.0) enables to expand a
dataset with a color table that only contains gray levels to a gray indexed
dataset.</dd>
<dt> <b>-outsize</b> <i>xsize[%]|0 ysize[%]|0</i>:</dt><dd> Set the size of the output
file.  Outsize is in pixels and lines unless '\%' is attached in which case it
is as a fraction of the input image size. Starting with GDAL 2.0, if one of the
2 values is set to 0, its value will be determined from the other one,
while maintaining the aspect ratio of the source dataset.</dd>
<dt> <b>-tr</b> xres yres :</dt><dd>  (starting with GDAL 2.0)
set target resolution. The values must be expressed in georeferenced units.
Both must be positive values. This is mutually exclusive with -outsize and -a_ullr.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-r</b>
<i>{nearest (default),bilinear,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos,average,mode}</i>:</dt><dd>
(GDAL &gt;= 2.0) Select a resampling algorithm.</dd>
<dt> <b>-scale</b> <i>[src_min src_max [dst_min dst_max]]</i>:</dt><dd> Rescale the
input pixels values from the range <i>src_min</i> to <i>src_max</i> to
the range <i>dst_min</i> to <i>dst_max</i>.  If omitted the output range is
0 to 255.  If omitted the input range is automatically computed from the
source data.
Before GDAL 1.11, it can be specified only once, and in that case, it applies to
all bands of the output dataset.
Starting with GDAL 1.11, -scale can be repeated several times (if specified only once,
it also applies to all bands of the output dataset), so as to specify per band parameters.
It is also possible to use the "-scale_bn" syntax where bn is a band number
(e.g. "-scale_2" for the 2nd band of the output dataset) to specify the parameters of
one or several specific bands.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-exponent</b> <i> exp_val</i>:</dt><dd> (From GDAL 1.11) To apply non-linear scaling
with a power function. exp_val is the exponent of the power function (must be positive). This option
must be used with the -scale option.
If specified only once, -exponent applies to all bands of the output image.
It can be repeated several times so as to specify per band parameters.
It is also possible to use the "-exponent_bn" syntax where bn is a band number
(e.g. "-exponent_2" for the 2nd band of the output dataset) to specify the parameters of
one or several specific bands.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-unscale</b>:</dt><dd> Apply the scale/offset metadata for the bands
to convert scaled values to unscaled values.  It is also often necessary to
reset the output datatype with the <b>-ot</b> switch.</dd>
<dt> <b>-srcwin</b> <i>xoff yoff xsize ysize</i>:</dt><dd> Selects a subwindow
from the source image for copying based on pixel/line location.  </dd>
<dt> <b>-projwin</b> <i>ulx uly lrx lry</i>:</dt><dd> Selects a subwindow from
the source image for copying (like <b>-srcwin</b>) but with the corners given
in georeferenced coordinates (by default expressed in the SRS of the dataset. Can be
changed with -projwin_srs).
Note: in GDAL 2.1.0 and 2.1.1, using -projwin with coordinates not aligned with
pixels will result in a sub-pixel shift. This has been corrected in later versions.
When selecting non-nearest neighbour resampling, starting with GDAL 2.1.0,
sub-pixel accuracy is however used to get better results.</dd>
<dt> <b>-projwin_srs</b> <i>srs_def</i>:</dt><dd> (GDAL >= 2.0) Specifies the SRS in
which to interpret the coordinates given with -projwin. The <i>srs_def</i> may
be any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms, complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file
containing the WKT.
Note that this does not cause reprojection of the dataset to the specified SRS. </dd>
<dt> <b>-epo</b>: (Error when Partially Outside)</dt><dd>(GDAL >= 1.10) If this
option is set, <b>-srcwin</b> or <b>-projwin</b> values that falls partially outside the
source raster extent will be considered as an error. The default behaviour starting
with GDAL 1.10 is to accept such requests, when they were considered as an error before.</dd>
<dt> <b>-eco</b>: (Error when Completely Outside)</dt><dd>(GDAL >= 1.10) Same
as <b>-epo</b>, except that the criterion for erroring out is when the request falls completely
outside the source raster extent.</dd>
<dt> <b>-a_srs</b> <i>srs_def</i>:</dt><dd> Override the projection for the
output file.  The <i>srs_def</i> may be any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms,
complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the WKT. No reprojection is done.</dd>
<dt> <b>-a_scale</b> <i>value</i>:</dt><dd> (GDAL &gt;=2.3 )Set band scaling
value(no modification of pixel values is done)</dd>
<dt> <b>-a_offset</b> <i>value</i>:</dt><dd> (GDAL &gt;=2.3 )Set band offset
value (no modification of pixel values is done)</dd>
<dt> <b>-a_ullr</b> <i>ulx uly lrx lry</i>:</dt><dd>
Assign/override the georeferenced bounds of the output file.  This assigns
georeferenced bounds to the output file, ignoring what would have been derived
from the source file. So this does not cause reprojection to the specified SRS. </dd>
<dt> <b>-a_nodata</b> <i>value</i>:</dt><dd>
Assign a specified nodata value to output bands. Starting with GDAL 1.8.0, can
be set to <i>none</i> to avoid setting a nodata value to the output file if
one exists for the source file. Note that, if the input dataset has a
nodata value, this does not cause pixel values that are equal to that nodata
value to be changed to the value specified with this option.</dd>
<dt> <b>-colorinterp_X</b> <i>red|green|blue|alpha|gray|undefined</i>:</dt><dd>
(GDAL >= 2.3) Override the color interpretation of band X (where X is a valid
band number, starting at 1)
</dd>
<dt> <b>-colorinterp</b> <i>red|green|blue|alpha|gray|undefined[,red|green|blue|alpha|gray|undefined]*</i>:</dt><dd>
(GDAL >= 2.3) Override the color interpretation of all specified bands. For
example -colorinterp red,green,blue,alpha for a 4 band output dataset.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-mo</b> <i>"META-TAG=VALUE"</i>:</dt><dd> Passes a metadata key and
value to set on the output dataset if possible.</dd>
<dt> <b>-co</b> <i>"NAME=VALUE"</i>:</dt><dd> Passes a creation option to the
output format driver.  Multiple <b>-co</b> options may be listed. See <a class="el"
href="formats_list.html" title="GDAL Raster Formats">format specific
documentation for legal creation options for each format</a>.</dd>
<dt> <b>-gcp</b> <i>pixel line easting northing elevation</i>:</dt><dd>
Add the indicated ground control point to the output dataset.  This option
may be provided multiple times to provide a set of GCPs.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-q</b>:</dt><dd> Suppress progress monitor and other non-error
output.</dd>
<dt> <b>-sds</b>:</dt><dd> Copy all subdatasets of this file to individual
output files.  Use with formats like HDF or OGDI that have subdatasets.
The output file naming scheme has changed in GDAL 1.11 (e.g. ofile_1.tif, ofile_2.tif).</dd>
<dt> <b>-stats</b>:</dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.8.0) Force (re)computation of statistics.</dd>
<dt> <b>-norat</b></dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.11) Do not copy source RAT into destination dataset.</dd>
<dt> <b>-oo</b> <em>NAME=VALUE</em>:</dt><dd>(starting with GDAL 2.0) Dataset open option (format specific)</dd>
<dt> <i>src_dataset</i>:</dt><dd>The source dataset name. It can be either
file name, URL of data source or subdataset name for multi-dataset files.</dd>

Builds or rebuilds overview images.

\section gdaladdo_synopsis SYNOPSIS

\verbatim
gdaladdo [-r {nearest,average,gauss,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos,average_mp,average_magphase,mode}]

\section gdaladdo_description DESCRIPTION

The gdaladdo utility can be used to build or rebuild overview images for
most supported file formats with one of several downsampling algorithms.

<dl>
<dt> <b>-r</b>
<i>{nearest (default),average,gauss,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos,average_mp,average_magphase,mode}</i>:</dt><dd>
Select a resampling algorithm.</dd>
<dt> <b>-b</b> <i>band</i>:</dt><dd> (available from GDAL 1.10) Select an input band <i>band</i> for
overview generation. Band numbering starts from 1. Multiple <b>-b</b> switches may be used
to select a set of input bands to generate overviews.</dd>
<dt> <b>-ro</b></dt>:<dd> (available from GDAL 1.6.0) open the dataset in read-only mode, in order to generate
external overview (for GeoTIFF especially). </dd>
<dt> <b>-clean</b></dt>:<dd> (available from GDAL 1.7.0) remove all overviews. </dd>
<dt> <b>-oo</b> <em>NAME=VALUE</em>:</dt><dd>(starting with GDAL 2.0) Dataset open option (format specific)</dd>
<dt> <b>-minsize</b> <i>val</i>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 2.3) Maximum width or height of the
smallest overview level. Only taken into account if explicit levels are not specified.
Defaults to 256. </dd>
<dt> <i>filename</i>:</dt><dd> The file to build overviews for (or whose overviews must be removed). </dd>
<dt> <i>levels</i>:</dt><dd> A list of integral overview levels to build. Ignored with -clean option.
Starting with GDAL 2.3, levels are no longer required to build overviews. In which case, appropriate
overview power-of-two factors will be selected until the smallest overview is smaller than the
value of the -minsize switch.</dd>
</dl>

<i>Mode</i> (available from GDAL 1.6.0) selects the value which appears most often of all the sampled points.
<i>average_mp</i> is unsuitable for use.
<i>Average_magphase</i> averages complex data in mag/phase space.
<i>Nearest</i> and <i>average</i> are applicable to normal image data.
<i>Nearest</i> applies a nearest neighbour (simple sampling) resampler, while
<i>average</i> computes the average of all non-NODATA contributing pixels.
<i>Cubic</i> resampling (available from GDAL 1.7.0) applies a cubic convolution kernel.
<i>Gauss</i> resampling (available from GDAL 1.6.0) applies a Gaussian kernel before computing the overview,
which can lead to better results than simple averaging in e.g case of sharp edges
with high contrast or noisy patterns. The advised level values should be 2, 4, 8, ...
so that a 3x3 resampling Gaussian kernel is selected.
<i>CubicSpline</i> resampling (available from GDAL 2.0) applies a B-Spline convolution kernel.
<i>Lanczos</i> resampling (available from GDAL 2.0) applies a Lanczos windowed sinc convolution kernel.

gdaladdo 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.

Selecting a level value like <i>2</i> causes an overview level that is 1/2
the resolution (in each dimension) of the base layer to be computed.  If
the file has existing overview levels at a level selected, those levels will
be recomputed and rewritten in place.

For internal GeoTIFF overviews (or external overviews in GeoTIFF format), note
that -clean does not shrink the file. A later run of gdaladdo with overview levels
will cause the file to be expanded, rather than reusing the space of the previously
deleted overviews. If you just want to change the resampling method on a file that
already has overviews computed, you don't need to clean the existing overviews.

Some format drivers do not support overviews at all.  Many format drivers
store overviews in a secondary file with the extension .ovr that is actually
in TIFF format.  By default, the GeoTIFF driver stores overviews internally to the file
operated on (if it is writable), unless the -ro flag is specified.

Most drivers also support an alternate overview format using Erdas Imagine
format.  To trigger this use the USE_RRD=YES configuration option.  This will
place the overviews in an associated .aux file suitable for direct use with
Imagine or ArcGIS as well as GDAL applications.  (e.g. --config USE_RRD YES)

\section gdaladdo_externalgtiffoverviews External overviews in GeoTIFF format

External overviews created in TIFF format may be compressed using the COMPRESS_OVERVIEW
configuration option.  All compression methods, supported by the GeoTIFF
driver, are available here. (e.g. --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW DEFLATE).
The photometric interpretation can be set with --config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW {RGB,YCBCR,...},
and the interleaving with --config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW {PIXEL|BAND}.

For JPEG compressed external overviews, the JPEG quality can be set with
"--config JPEG_QUALITY_OVERVIEW value" (GDAL 1.7.0 or later).

For LZW or DEFLATE compressed external overviews, the predictor value can be set
with "--config PREDICTOR_OVERVIEW 1|2|3" (GDAL 1.8.0 or later).

To produce the smallest possible JPEG-In-TIFF overviews, you should use :
\verbatim
--config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG --config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR --config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW PIXEL
\endverbatim

External overviews can be created in the BigTIFF format by using
the BIGTIFF_OVERVIEW configuration option : --config BIGTIFF_OVERVIEW {IF_NEEDED|IF_SAFER|YES|NO}.
The default value is IF_SAFER starting with GDAL 2.3.0 (previously was IF_NEEDED). The behaviour of this option is exactly the same as the BIGTIFF creation option
documented in the GeoTIFF driver documentation.
<ul>
    <li>YES forces BigTIFF.
    <li>NO forces classic TIFF.
    <li>IF_NEEDED will only create a BigTIFF if it is clearly needed (uncompressed, and overviews larger than 4GB).
    <li>IF_SAFER will create BigTIFF if the resulting file *might* exceed 4GB.
</ul>
<br>

See the documentation of the GeoTIFF driver for further explanations on all those options.

\section gdalbuildvrt_description DESCRIPTION

This program builds a VRT (Virtual Dataset) that is a mosaic of the list of
input GDAL datasets. The list of input GDAL datasets can be specified at the end
of the command line, or put in a text file (one filename per line) for very long lists,
or it can be a MapServer tileindex (see \ref gdaltindex utility). In the later case, all
entries in the tile index will be added to the VRT.

With -separate, each files goes into a separate band in the VRT band. Otherwise,
the files are considered as tiles of a larger mosaic and the VRT file has as many bands as one
of the input files.

If one GDAL dataset is made of several subdatasets and has 0 raster bands,
all the subdatasets will be added to the VRT rather than the dataset itself.

gdalbuildvrt does some amount of checks to assure that all files that will be put
in the resulting VRT have similar characteristics : number of bands, projection, color
interpretation... If not, files that do not match the common characteristics will be skipped.
(This is only true in the default mode, and not when using the -separate option)

If there is some amount of spatial overlapping between files, the order of files
appearing in the list of source matter: files that are listed at the end are the ones
from which the content will be fetched. Note that nodata will be taken into account
to potentially fetch data from less prioritary datasets, but currently, alpha channel
is not taken into account to do alpha compositing (so a source with alpha=0
appearing on top of another source will override is content). This might be
changed in later versions.

This utility is somehow equivalent to the gdal_vrtmerge.py utility and is build by default
in GDAL 1.6.1.

<dl>

<dt> <b>-tileindex</b>:</dt><dd>
Use the specified value as the tile index field, instead of the default value with is 'location'.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-resolution</b> {highest|lowest|average|user}:</dt><dd>
In case the resolution of all input files is not the same, the -resolution flag
enables the user to control the way the output resolution is computed. 'average' is the default.
'highest' will pick the smallest values of pixel dimensions within the set of source rasters.
'lowest' will pick the largest values of pixel dimensions within the set of source rasters.
'average' will compute an average of pixel dimensions within the set of source rasters.
'user' is new in GDAL 1.7.0 and must be used in combination with the -tr option to specify the target resolution.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-tr</b> xres yres :</dt><dd>  (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
set target resolution. The values must be expressed in georeferenced units.
Both must be positive values. Specifying those values is of course incompatible with
highest|lowest|average values for -resolution option.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-tap</b>:</dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.8.0) (target aligned pixels) align
the coordinates of the extent of the output file to the values of the -tr,
such that the aligned extent includes the minimum extent.</dd>

<dt> <b>-te</b> xmin ymin xmax ymax :</dt><dd>  (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
set georeferenced extents of VRT file. The values must be expressed in georeferenced units.
If not specified, the extent of the VRT is the minimum bounding box of the set of source rasters.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-addalpha</b>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
Adds an alpha mask band to the VRT when the source raster have none. Mainly useful for RGB sources (or grey-level sources).
The alpha band is filled on-the-fly with the value 0 in areas without any source raster, and with value
255 in areas with source raster. The effect is that a RGBA viewer will render
the areas without source rasters as transparent and areas with source rasters as opaque.
This option is not compatible with -separate.</dd>

<dt> <b>-hidenodata</b>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
Even if any band contains nodata value, giving this option makes the VRT band
not report the NoData. Useful when you want to control the background color of
the dataset. By using along with the -addalpha option, you can prepare a
dataset which doesn't report nodata value but is transparent in areas with no
data.</dd>

<dt> <b>-srcnodata</b> <em>value [value...]</em>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
Set nodata values for input bands (different values can be supplied for each band). If
more than one value is supplied all values should be quoted to keep them
together as a single operating system argument. If the option is not specified, the
intrinsic nodata settings on the source datasets will be used (if they exist). The value set by this option
is written in the NODATA element of each ComplexSource element. Use a value of
<tt>None</tt> to ignore intrinsic nodata settings on the source datasets.</dd>

<dt> <b>-b</b> <i>band</i>:</dt><dd>(GDAL >= 1.10.0)
Select an input <i>band</i> to be processed. Bands are numbered from 1.
If input bands not set all bands will be added to vrt.
Multiple <b>-b</b> switches may be used to select a set of input bands.</dd>

<dt> <b>-sd</b> <i>subdataset</i></dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.10.0) If the input
dataset contains several subdatasets use a subdataset with the specified
number (starting from 1). This is an alternative of giving the full subdataset
name as an input.</dd>

<dt> <b>-vrtnodata</b> <em>value [value...]</em>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
Set nodata values at the VRT band level (different values can be supplied for each band).  If more
than one value is supplied all values should be quoted to keep them together
as a single operating system argument.  If the option is not specified,
intrinsic nodata settings on the first dataset will be used (if they exist). The value set by this option
is written in the NoDataValue element of each VRTRasterBand element. Use a value of
<tt>None</tt> to ignore intrinsic nodata settings on the source datasets.</dd>

<dt> <b>-separate</b>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
Place each input file into a separate band. In that case, only the first
band of each dataset will be placed into a new band. Contrary to the default mode, it is not
required that all bands have the same datatype.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-allow_projection_difference</b>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)
When this option is specified, the utility will accept to make a VRT even if the input datasets have
not the same projection. Note: this does not mean that they will be reprojected. Their projection will
just be ignored.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-optim</b> {[AUTO]/VECTOR/RASTER}}:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 2.3)
Force the algorithm used (results are identical). The raster mode is used in most cases and optimise
read/write operations. The vector mode is useful with a decent amount of input features and optimise
the CPU use. That mode have to be used with tiled images to be efficient. The auto mode (the default)
will chose the algorithm based on input and output properties.
</dd>

<dt> <b>-a_srs</b> <i>srs_def</i>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.10)
Override the projection for the output file.  The <i>srs_def</i> may be any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms,
complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the WKT. No reprojection is done.</dd>

<dt> <b>-r</b>
<i>{nearest (default),bilinear,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos,average,mode}</i>:</dt><dd>

</dd>

<dt> <b>-q</b>:</dt><dd> (starting with GDAL 1.7.0)

\section gdal_rasterize_description DESCRIPTION

This program burns vector geometries (points, lines, and polygons) into the
raster band(s) of a raster image.  Vectors are read from OGR supported vector
formats.

Note that on the fly reprojection of vector data to the coordinate system of the
raster data is only supported since GDAL 2.1.0.

Prior to GDAL 1.8.0, gdal_rasterize could only modify existing raster images. 
Since 1.8.0, it will create a new target raster image when any of the -of, 
-a_nodata, -init, -a_srs, -co, -te, -tr, -tap, -ts, or -ot options are used. 
The resolution or size must be specified using the -tr or -ts option for all new
rasters.  The target raster will be overwritten if it already exists and any of 
these creation-related options are used.

<dl>
<dt> <b>-b</b> <em>band</em>: </dt><dd>

into a list of bands.  The default is to burn into band 1.  Not used when

Convert a 24bit RGB image to 8bit paletted.

\section rgb2pct_synopsis SYNOPSIS

\verbatim
rgb2pct.py [-n colors | -pct palette_file] [-of format] source_file dest_file
\endverbatim

\section rgb2pct_description DESCRIPTION

This utility will compute an optimal pseudo-color table for a given RGB image
using a median cut algorithm on a downsampled RGB histogram.   Then it
converts the image into a pseudo-colored image using the color table.
This conversion utilizes Floyd-Steinberg dithering (error diffusion) to
maximize output image visual quality.

<dl>
<dt> <b>-n</b> <i>colors</i>:</dt><dd> Select the number of colors in the generated
color table.  Defaults to 256.  Must be between 2 and 256. </dd>
<dt> <b>-pct</b> <i>palette_file</i>:</dt><dd> Extract the color table from
<i>palette_file</i> instead of computing it. Can be used to have a consistent
color table for multiple files.  The <i>palette_file</i> must be a raster file
in a GDAL supported format with a palette.</dd>
<dt> <b>-of</b> <i>format</i>:</dt><dd> Select the output format. Starting with
GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the format is guessed from the extension (previously

\section rgb2pct_example EXAMPLE

If it is desired to hand create the palette, likely the simplest text format
is the GDAL VRT format.  In the following example a VRT was created in a
text editor with a small 4 color palette with the RGBA colors 238/238/238/255,
237/237/237/255, 236/236/236/255 and 229/229/229/255.

Coordinates are read as pairs (or triples) of numbers per line from standard
input, transformed, and written out to standard output in the same way. All
transformations offered by gdalwarp are handled, including gcp-based ones.

Note that input and output must always be in decimal form.  There is currently
no support for DMS input or output.

If an input image file is provided, input is in pixel/line coordinates on that
image.  If an output file is provided, output is in pixel/line coordinates
on that image.

\section gdaltransform_example Reprojection Example

Simple reprojection from one projected coordinate system to another:

\verbatim
gdaltransform -s_srs EPSG:28992 -t_srs EPSG:31370

\section gdaltransform_rpc_example Image RPC Example

The following command requests an RPC based transformation using the RPC
model associated with the named file.  Because the -i (inverse) flag is
used, the transformation is from output georeferenced (WGS84) coordinates
back to image coordinates.

\section nearblack_description DESCRIPTION

This utility will scan an image and try to set all pixels that are nearly or exactly
black, white or one or more custom colors around the collar to black or white.  This
is often used to "fix up" lossy compressed air photos so that color pixels
can be treated as transparent when mosaicing.

<dl>

Search for nearly white (255) pixels instead of nearly black pixels.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-color</b> <i>c1,c2,c3...cn</i>:</dt><dd> (GDAL >= 1.9.0)
Search for pixels near the specified color. May be specified multiple times.
When -color is specified, the pixels that are considered as the collar are set to 0.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-near</b> <i>dist</i>:</dt><dd>
Select how far from black, white or custom colors the pixel values can be and still considered near black, white or custom color.  Defaults to 15.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-nb</b> <i>non_black_pixels</i>:</dt><dd>
number of non-black pixels that can be encountered before the giving up search inwards. Defaults to 2.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-setalpha</b>:</dt><dd> (GDAL 1.8.0 or later)
Adds an alpha band if the output file is specified and the input file has 3 bands,
or sets the alpha band of the output file if it is specified and the input file has 4 bands,
or sets the alpha band of the input file if it has 4 bands and no output file is specified.
The alpha band is set to 0 in the image collar and to 255 elsewhere.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-setmask</b>:</dt><dd> (GDAL 1.8.0 or later)
Adds a mask band to the output file,
or adds a mask band to the input file if it does not already have one and no output file is specified.
The mask band is set to 0 in the image collar and to 255 elsewhere.
</dd>
<dt> <b>-q</b>:</dt><dd> (GDAL 1.8.0 or later) Suppress progress monitor and other non-error
output.</dd>
<dt> <i>infile</i>:</dt><dd>
The input file.  Any GDAL supported format, any number of bands, normally 8bit
Byte bands.
</dd>
</dl>

The algorithm processes the image one scanline at a time.  A scan "in" is done
from either end setting pixels to black or white until at least
"non_black_pixels" pixels that are more than "dist" gray levels away from
black, white or custom colors have been encountered at which point the scan stops.  The nearly
black, white or custom color pixels are set to black or white. The algorithm also scans from
top to bottom and from bottom to top to identify indentations in the top or bottom.

The processing is all done in 8bit (Bytes).

If the output file is omitted, the processed results will be written back
to the input file - which must support update.

This utility generates a directory with small tiles and metadata, following
the OSGeo Tile Map Service Specification. Simple web pages with viewers based on
Google Maps, OpenLayers and Leaflet are generated as well - so anybody can comfortably
explore your maps on-line and you do not need to install or configure any
special software (like MapServer) and the map displays very fast in the
web browser. You only need to upload the generated directory onto a web server.

GDAL2Tiles also creates the necessary metadata for Google Earth (KML
SuperOverlay), in case the supplied map uses EPSG:4326 projection.

World files and embedded georeferencing is used during tile generation, but you
can publish a picture without proper georeferencing too.

This utility will retile a set of input tile(s). All the input tile(s) must
be georeferenced in the same coordinate system and have a matching number of bands.
Optionally pyramid levels are generated. It  is  possible to generate  shape file(s) for the tiled output.

If your number of input tiles exhausts the command line buffer, use the general --optfile option


<dl>
<dt> <b>-targetDir</b> <i>directory</i>:</dt><dd>

<dt> <b>-csvDelim</b> <i>column delimiter</i>:</dt><dd>
The column delimiter used in the CSV file, default value is a semicolon ";"
</dd>
<dt> <b>-useDirForEachRow</b>:</dt><dd>
Normally the tiles of the base image are stored as described in <b>-targetDir</b>.
For large images, some file systems have performance problems if the number of files
in a directory is to big, causing gdal_retile not to finish in reasonable time.
Using this parameter creates a different output structure. The tiles of the base image
are stored in a sub-directory called 0, the pyramids in sub-directories numbered 1,2,....
Within each of these directories another level of sub-directories is created, numbered from
0...n, depending of how many tile rows are needed for each level. Finally, a directory contains
only the tiles for one row for a specific level. For large images a performance improvement
of a factor N could be achieved.

\section gdal_grid_algorithms INTERPOLATION ALGORITHMS

There are number of interpolation algorithms to choose from.

\subsection gdal_grid_algorithms_invdist invdist

Inverse distance to a power. This is default algorithm. It has following
parameters:

<dl>
<dt><i>power</i>:</dt> <dd>Weighting power (default 2.0).</dd>
<dt><i>smoothing</i>:</dt> <dd>Smoothing parameter (default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>radius1</i>:</dt> <dd>The first radius (X axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>radius2</i>:</dt> <dd>The second radius (Y axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>angle</i>:</dt> <dd>Angle of search ellipse rotation in degrees
(counter clockwise, default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>max_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Maximum number of data points to use. Do not
search for more points than this number. This is only used if search ellipse
is set (both radii are non-zero). Zero means that all found points should
be used. Default is 0.</dd>
<dt><i>min_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Minimum number of data points to use. If less
amount of points found the grid node considered empty and will be filled with
NODATA marker. This is only used if search ellipse is set (both radii are
non-zero). Default is 0.</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>
</dl>

\subsection gdal_grid_algorithms_invdist_nearest_neighbor invdistnn

(Since GDAL 2.1) Inverse distance to a power with nearest neighbor searching, ideal when
max_points is used. It has following parameters:

<dl>
<dt><i>power</i>:</dt> <dd>Weighting power (default 2.0).</dd>
<dt><i>smoothing</i>:</dt> <dd>Smoothing parameter (default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>radius</i>:</dt> <dd>The radius of the search circle, which should be
non-zero. Default is 1.0.</dd>
<dt><i>max_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Maximum number of data points to use. Do not
search for more points than this number. Found points will be ranked from
nearest to furthest distance when weighting. Default is 12.</dd>
<dt><i>min_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Minimum number of data points to use. If less
amount of points found the grid node is considered empty and will be filled
with NODATA marker. Default is 0.</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>
</dl>

\subsection gdal_grid_algorithms_average average

Moving average algorithm. It has following parameters:

<dl>
<dt><i>radius1</i>:</dt> <dd>The first radius (X axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>radius2</i>:</dt> <dd>The second radius (Y axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>angle</i>:</dt> <dd>Angle of search ellipse rotation in degrees
(counter clockwise, default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>min_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Minimum number of data points to use. If less
amount of points found the grid node considered empty and will be filled with
NODATA marker. Default is 0.</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>
</dl>

Note, that it is essential to set search ellipse for moving average method. It
is a window that will be averaged when computing grid nodes values.

\subsection gdal_grid_algorithms_nearest nearest

Nearest neighbor algorithm. It has following parameters:

<dl>
<dt><i>radius1</i>:</dt> <dd>The first radius (X axis if rotation angle is 0)

Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>radius2</i>:</dt> <dd>The second radius (Y axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>angle</i>:</dt> <dd>Angle of search ellipse rotation in degrees
(counter clockwise, default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>
</dl>

\subsection gdal_grid_algorithms_linear linear

(Since GDAL 2.1) Linear interpolation algorithm.

The Linear method performs linear interpolation by computing a Delaunay
triangulation of the point cloud, finding in which triangle of the triangulation
the point is, and by doing linear interpolation from its barycentric coordinates
within the triangle.
If the point is not in any triangle, depending on the radius, the
algorithm will use the value of the nearest point or the nodata value.

It has following parameters:

<dl>
<dt><i>radius</i>:</dt> <dd>In case the point to be interpolated does not fit
into a triangle of the Delaunay triangulation, use that maximum distance to search a nearest
neighbour, or use nodata otherwise. If set to -1, the search distance is infinite.
If set to 0, nodata value will be always used. Default is -1.</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>
</dl>

\section gdal_grid_metrics DATA METRICS

Besides the interpolation functionality \ref gdal_grid can be used to compute
some data metrics using the specified window and output grid geometry. These
metrics are:

<dl>

<dt><i>minimum</i>:</dt> <dd>Minimum value found in grid node search
ellipse.</dd>

<dt><i>maximum</i>:</dt> <dd>Maximum value found in grid node search
ellipse.</dd>

<dt><i>range</i>:</dt> <dd>A difference between the minimum and maximum values
found in grid node search ellipse.</dd>

<dt><i>count</i>:</dt> <dd> A number of data points found in grid node search
ellipse.</dd>

<dt><i>average_distance</i>:</dt> <dd>An average distance between the grid
node (center of the search ellipse) and all of the data points found in grid
node search ellipse.</dd>

<dt><i>average_distance_pts</i>:</dt> <dd>An average distance between the data
points found in grid node search ellipse. The distance between each pair of
points within ellipse is calculated and average of all distances is set as a
grid node value.</dd>

</dl>

All the metrics have the same set of options:

<dl>

<dt><i>radius1</i>:</dt> <dd>The first radius (X axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>radius2</i>:</dt> <dd>The second radius (Y axis if rotation angle is 0)
of search ellipse. Set this parameter to zero to use whole point array.
Default is 0.0.</dd>
<dt><i>angle</i>:</dt> <dd>Angle of search ellipse rotation in degrees
(counter clockwise, default 0.0).</dd>
<dt><i>min_points</i>:</dt> <dd>Minimum number of data points to use. If less
amount of points found the grid node considered empty and will be filled with
NODATA marker. This is only used if search ellipse is set (both radii are
non-zero). Default is 0.</dd>
<dt><i>nodata</i>:</dt> <dd>NODATA marker to fill empty points (default
0.0).</dd>

</dl>

\section gdal_grid_csv READING COMMA SEPARATED VALUES

Often you have a text file with a list of comma separated XYZ values to work
with (so called CSV file). You can easily use that kind of data source in \ref
gdal_grid. All you need is create a virtual dataset header (VRT) for you CSV
file and use it as input datasource for \ref gdal_grid. You can find details
on VRT format at <a href="ogr/drv_vrt.html">Virtual Format</a> description
page.

Here is a small example. Let we have a CSV file called <i>dem.csv</i>
containing

\verbatim
Easting,Northing,Elevation
86943.4,891957,139.13
87124.3,892075,135.01
86962.4,892321,182.04
87077.6,891995,135.01
...
\endverbatim

For above data we will create <i>dem.vrt</i> header with the following
content:

\verbatim
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="dem">
        <SrcDataSource>dem.csv</SrcDataSource>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
        <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="Easting" y="Northing" z="Elevation"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>
\endverbatim

This description specifies so called 2.5D geometry with three coordinates X, Y
and Z. Z value will be used for interpolation. Now you can use <i>dem.vrt</i>
with all OGR programs (start with \ref ogrinfo to test that everything works
fine). The datasource will contain single layer called <i>"dem"</i> filled
with point features constructed from values in CSV file. Using this technique
you can handle CSV files with more than three columns, switch columns, etc.

If your CSV file does not contain column headers then it can be handled in the
following way:

\verbatim
<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="field_1" y="field_2" z="field_3"/>
\endverbatim

<a href="ogr/drv_csv.html">Comma Separated Value</a> description page contains
details on CSV format supported by GDAL/OGR.

\section gdal_grid_api C API

Starting with GDAL 2.1, this utility is also callable from C with GDALGrid().

\section gdal_grid_example EXAMPLE

The following would create raster TIFF file from VRT datasource described in
\ref gdal_grid_csv section using the inverse distance to a power method.
Values to interpolate will be read from Z value of geometry record.

\verbatim
gdal_grid -a invdist:power=2.0:smoothing=1.0 -txe 85000 89000 -tye 894000 890000 -outsize 400 400 -of GTiff -ot Float64 -l dem dem.vrt dem.tiff
\endverbatim

The next command does the same thing as the previous one, but reads values to
interpolate from the attribute field specified with <b>-zfield</b> option
instead of geometry record. So in this case X and Y coordinates are being
taken from geometry and Z is being taken from the <i>"Elevation"</i> field.
The GDAL_NUM_THREADS is also set to parallelize the computation.

\verbatim
gdal_grid -zfield "Elevation" -a invdist:power=2.0:smoothing=1.0 -txe 85000 89000 -tye 894000 890000 -outsize 400 400 -of GTiff -ot Float64 -l dem dem.vrt dem.tiff --config GDAL_NUM_THREADS ALL_CPUS

Notes :
  gdaldem generally assumes that x, y and z units are identical.  If x (east-west)
  and y (north-south) units are identical, but z (elevation) units are different, the
  scale (-s) option can be used to set the ratio of vertical units to horizontal.  For
  LatLong projections near the equator, where units of latitude and units of
  longitude are similar, elevation (z) units can be converted to be compatible
  by using scale=370400 (if elevation is in feet) or scale=111120 (if elevation is in
  meters).  For locations not near the equator, it would be best to reproject your
  grid using gdalwarp before using gdaldem.

</dl>

The following general options are available :
<dl>
<dt> <i>input_dem</i>:</dt><dd> The input DEM raster to be processed</dd>
<dt> <i>output_xxx_map</i>:</dt><dd> The output raster produced</dd>

</dl>

For all algorithms, except color-relief, a nodata value in the target dataset will be emitted if
at least one pixel set to the nodata value is found in the 3x3 window centered around each source pixel.
The consequence is that there will be a 1-pixel border around each image set with nodata value.
From GDAL 1.8.0, if -compute_edges is specified, gdaldem will compute values at image edges
or if a nodata value is found in the 3x3 window, by interpolating missing values.

\section gdaldem_modes Modes

\subsection gdaldem_hillshade hillshade

This command outputs an 8-bit raster with a nice shaded relief effect.
It’s very useful for visualizing the terrain.
You can optionally specify the azimuth and altitude of the light source,
a vertical exaggeration factor and a scaling factor to account for differences between vertical and horizontal units.

The value 0 is used as the output nodata value.

The following specific options are available :
<dl>
<dt> <b>-z</b> <i>zFactor</i>:</dt><dd>vertical exaggeration used to pre-multiply the elevations</dd>
<dt> <b>-s</b> <i>scale</i>:</dt><dd>ratio of vertical units to horizontal. If the horizontal unit of the source DEM is degrees (e.g Lat/Long WGS84 projection), you can use scale=111120 if the vertical units are meters (or scale=370400 if they are in feet)</dd>
<dt> <b>-az</b> <i>azimuth</i>:</dt><dd>azimuth of the light, in degrees. 0 if it comes from the top of the raster, 90 from the east, ... The default value, 315, should rarely be changed as it is the value generally used to generate shaded maps.</dd>
<dt> <b>-alt</b> <i>altitude</i>:</dt><dd>altitude of the light, in degrees. 90 if the light comes from above the DEM, 0 if it is raking light.</dd>
<dt> <b>-combined</b>:</dt><dd>(starting with GDAL 1.10) combined shading, a combination of slope and oblique shading.</dd>
<dt> <b>-multidirectional</b>:</dt><dd>(starting with GDAL 2.2) multidirectional shading, a combination of hillshading illuminated from 225 deg, 270 deg, 315 deg, and 360 deg azimuth.</dd>
</dl>

Multidirectional hillshading applies the formula of http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1992/of92-422/of92-422.pdf.

\subsection gdaldem_slope slope

This command will take a DEM raster and output a 32-bit float raster with slope values.
You have the option of specifying the type of slope value you want: degrees or percent slope.
In cases where the horizontal units differ from the vertical units, you can also supply a scaling factor.

The value -9999 is used as the output nodata value.

The following specific options are available :
<dl>
<dt> <b>-p</b> :</dt><dd>if specified, the slope will be expressed as percent slope. Otherwise, it is expressed as degrees</dd>
<dt> <b>-s</b> <i>scale</i>:</dt><dd>ratio of vertical units to horizontal. If the horizontal unit of the source DEM is degrees (e.g Lat/Long WGS84 projection), you can use scale=111120 if the vertical units are meters (or scale=370400 if they are in feet)</dd>
</dl>

\subsection gdaldem_aspect aspect

This command outputs a 32-bit float raster with values between 0° and 360° representing the azimuth that slopes are facing.
The definition of the azimuth is such that : 0° means that the slope is facing the North, 90° it's facing the East, 180° it's facing the South and
270° it's facing the West (provided that the top of your input raster is north oriented). The aspect value -9999 is used as the nodata value
to indicate undefined aspect in flat areas with slope=0.

The following specifics options are available :
<dl>
<dt> <b>-trigonometric</b>:</dt><dd> return trigonometric angle instead of azimuth. Thus 0° means East, 90° North, 180° West, 270° South</dd>
<dt> <b>-zero_for_flat</b>:</dt><dd> return 0 for flat areas with slope=0, instead of -9999</dd>
</dl>

By using those 2 options, the aspect returned by gdaldem aspect should be identical to the one of GRASS r.slope.aspect. Otherwise, it's identical
to the one of Matthew Perry's aspect.cpp utility.

\subsection gdaldem_color_relief color-relief

This command outputs a 3-band (RGB) or 4-band (RGBA) raster with values are computed from the elevation
and a text-based color configuration file, containing the association between various elevation
values and the corresponding wished color. By default, the colors between the given elevation values
are blended smoothly and the result is a nice colorized DEM. The -exact_color_entry or
-nearest_color_entry options can be used to avoid that linear interpolation for values that don't match an index
of the color configuration file.

The following specifics options are available :
<dl>
<dt> <i>color_text_file</i>:</dt><dd> text-based color configuration file</dd>
<dt> <b>-alpha</b> :</dt><dd>add an alpha channel to the output raster</dd>
<dt> <b>-exact_color_entry</b> :</dt><dd>use strict matching when searching in the color configuration file.
 If none matching color entry is found, the "0,0,0,0" RGBA quadruplet will be used</dd>
<dt> <b>-nearest_color_entry</b> :</dt><dd></dd>use the RGBA quadruplet corresponding to the closest entry in the color configuration file.</dd>
</dl>

The color-relief mode is the only mode that supports VRT as output format. In that case, it will translate the color configuration file into appropriate LUT elements. Note that elevations specified as percentage will be translated as absolute values, which must be taken into account when the statistics of the source raster differ from the one that was used when building the VRT.

The text-based color configuration file generally contains 4 columns per line : the elevation value and the
corresponding Red, Green, Blue component (between 0 and 255).
The elevation value can be any floating point value, or the <i>nv</i> keyword for the nodata value..
The elevation can also be expressed as a percentage : 0% being the minimum value found in the raster, 100% the maximum value.

An extra column can be optionally added for the alpha component. If it is not specified, full opacity (255) is assumed.

Various field separators are accepted : comma, tabulation, spaces, ':'.

Common colors used by GRASS can also be specified by using their name, instead of the RGB triplet. The supported list is :
white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, aqua, grey/gray, orange, brown, purple/violet and indigo.

Since GDAL 1.8.0, GMT .cpt palette files are also supported (COLOR_MODEL = RGB only).

Note: the syntax of the color configuration file is derived from the one supported by GRASS r.colors utility.
ESRI HDR color table files (.clr) also match that syntax.
The alpha component and the support of tab and comma as separators are GDAL specific extensions.

For example :
\verbatim
3500   white
2500   235:220:175
50%   190 185 135
700    240 250 150
0      50  180  50
nv     0   0   0   0
\endverbatim

\subsection gdaldem_TRI TRI

This command outputs a single-band raster with values computed from the elevation.
TRI stands for Terrain Ruggedness Index, which is defined as the mean difference between a central pixel and its surrounding cells (see Wilson et al 2007, Marine Geodesy 30:3-35).

The value -9999 is used as the output nodata value.

There are no specific options.

\subsection gdaldem_TPI TPI

This command outputs a single-band raster with values computed from the elevation.
TPI stands for Topographic Position Index, which is defined as the difference between a central pixel and the mean of its surrounding cells (see Wilson et al 2007, Marine Geodesy 30:3-35).

The value -9999 is used as the output nodata value.

There are no specific options.

\subsection gdaldem_roughness roughness

This command outputs a single-band raster with values computed from the elevation.
Roughness is the largest inter-cell difference of a central pixel and its surrounding cell, as defined in Wilson et al (2007, Marine Geodesy 30:3-35).

The value -9999 is used as the output nodata value.

There are no specific options.

spectral bands (e.g. 12). If not specified, the NBITS metadata item from the
panchromatic band will be used if it exists.</dd>
<dt> <b>-nodata</b> <i>val</i>:</dt><dd>
Specify nodata value for bands. Used for the resampling and pan-sharpening computation
itself. If not set, deduced from the input bands, provided they have a consistent
setting.</dd>
<dt> <b>-spat_adjust</b>
<i>{union (default),intersection,none,nonewithoutwarning}</i>:</dt><dd>
Select behaviour when bands have not the same extent. See <i>SpatialExtentAdjustment</i>
documentation in  <a href="gdal_vrttut.html#gdal_vrttut_pansharpen">VRT tutorial</a></dd>
<dt> <b>-co</b> <i>"NAME=VALUE"</i>:</dt><dd> Passes a creation option to the
output format driver.  Multiple <b>-co</b> options may be listed. See <a class="el"
href="formats_list.html" title="GDAL Raster Formats">format specific
documentation for legal creation options for each format</a>.</dd>
<dt> <b>-q</b>:</dt><dd> Suppress progress monitor and other non-error
output.</dd>
<dt> <i>pan_dataset</i></dt><dd> Dataset with panchromatic band (first band will be used).</dd>
<dt> <i>spectral_dataset[,band=num]</i></dt><dd> Dataset with one or several spectral bands. If
the band option is not specified, all bands of the datasets are taken into account. Otherwise,
only the specified (num)th band. The same dataset can be repeated several times.</dd>
<dt> <i>out_dataset</i></dt><dd> Output dataset</dd>
</dl>

Bands should be in the same projection.

\section gdal_pansharpen_example EXAMPLE

With spectral bands in a single dataset :
\verbatim
gdal_pansharpen.py panchro.tif multispectral.tif pansharpened_out.tif
\endverbatim

With a few spectral bands from a single dataset, reordered :
\verbatim
gdal_pansharpen.py panchro.tif multispectral.tif,band=3 multispectral.tif,band=2 multispectral.tif,band=1 pansharpened_out.tif
\endverbatim

With spectral bands in several datasets :
\verbatim
gdal_pansharpen.py panchro.tif band1.tif band2.tif band3.tif pansharpened_out.tif
\endverbatim

Specify weights:
\verbatim
gdal_pansharpen.py -w 0.7 -w 0.2 -w 0.1 panchro.tif multispectral.tif pansharpened_out.tif
\endverbatim

Specify RGB bands from a RGBNir multispectral dataset while computing the pseudo panchromatic intensity on the 4 RGBNir bands:
\verbatim
gdal_pansharpen.py -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 panchro.tif rgbnir.tif pansharpened_out.tif
\endverbatim
