I need to clip an input raster data set by a circle and write the extracted cells to a new raster. Then I have to repeat 35,387 times, so any solution needs to be scriptable. The dream solution would be to issue a command with arguments specifying the X coordinate, Y coordinate, and radius. I assume, however, that I'll need to do some sort of intersect operation using either a mask matrix, a rasterized vector circle, or some XML that defines the circle.
Is this possible? Any script/software recommendations? I started looking in to GRASS r.circle but haven't yet gotten very far. Basically, I want to do what the ArcGIS "Extract by Circle" tool will do, but I want to do it much more quickly and without ESRI.
