Those transformation parameters can be seen as a 3x3 transformation matrix like this
Xg GT1 GT2 GT0 Xp Yg = GT4 GT5 GT3 * Yp 1 0 0 1 1 Where [Xp, Yp] is the coordinate in pixels, and [Xg, Yg] is the "geographic" coordinate (whatever it means ;) the 2x2 top left corner of the transformation matrix can be seen as a 2D rotation-scaling matrix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix#Examples_in_2_dimensions [GT0, GT3] is the "geographic" coordinate of the pixel [0, 0] (regardless rotation or scaling) Cheers .___ ._ ..._ .. . ._. .___ .. __ . _. . __.. ... .... ._ .__ Entre dos pensamientos racionales hay infinitos pensamientos irracionales.
