Frank,
This is a helpful new utility.
I read the documentation and tried it out. Using gdallocationinfo to find the elevation at a given lat/long location seems like a reasonable use. It may be desirable to input and output an ogr layer rather than a single point. For instance, what are the elevations at these points in this shapefile?
I tried to approach that problem by putting the coordinates into a file with ogrinfo and then use that file as an --optfile for the x y. That didn't work the way that I tried it. Can an --optfile be used for the x y input?
ogrinfo town.shp town | grep 'POINT' | sed 's/ POINT (//' | sed 's/)//'

gdallocationinfo -s_srs EPSG:2913 townraster.tif --optfile xyinput2.txt
Usage: gdallocationinfo [--help-general] [-xml] [-lifonly] [-valonly]
[-b band]* [-s_srs srs_def] [-geoloc] [-wgs84]
srcfile x y
What would be the proper approach to the above hypothetical problem? Is there
an effective way to have an ogr input for gdallocaitoninfo? Perhaps
-input_file_list my_liste.txt for the x y similar to gdalbuildvrt?
Eli,
As currently implemented gdallocationinfo only accepts one location on
the commandline. The --optfile expansion is presumably working but
you can't give more than one xy pair on the commandline.
It looks like -s_srs applies to the x y input. -s_srs sometimes, i.e. gdalwarp, applies to the srcfile.
I gather you are suggesting the parameter name is confusing? It might
make sense for me to call it -l_srs (location srs). I'll make that
change.
Is -wgs84 equivalent to -s_srs EPSG:4326?
Yes - it's just a shortcut for a common case.
Best regards,
