Re: [gdal-dev] Python bindings on RedHat cluster (was: AttributeError: 'MaskedArray' object has no attribute 'typecode' -- when writing GeoTiff)

Hi Greg, It's always a good idea to communicate via the list, there are more eyes and skills there. The conversations are also publicly archived, making it easier for others having similar problems to search for help. In this case, the mistake is mine, I see that this list behaves differently to

RE: [gdal-dev] How do I open vector files (e.g. shp) using GDAL

Oh - I see. I can open them now and wander through their layers and vector points. Thank you. I don't suppose there is a utility/convience function to 'rasterize' the information within a 2D vector file (e.g. vector map) by any chance (i.e. rather than drawing them using OpenGL or

Re: [gdal-dev] How do I open vector files (e.g. shp) using GDAL

There is the GDAL rasterize method, however that is designed to translate vector polygons into raster representations. Converting points to raster is a very simple task and does not really need a method; converting lines is slightly less trivial, however these are issues with regard to how to

[gdal-dev] Ruby bindings and geotiff...

Hi All, I'm trying to write a Ruby app to read the new and fantastic NASA ASTER Elevation DEM. This is of course in GeoTiff format. I'm wondering if anyone has examples in any language of using GDAL to read a particular location's data from a geotiff file? I can do the calculations to figure out

Thanks Frank, the command cannot determine it from the .shp file Why? Is it because the EPSG code of this .shp is unknown to GDAL or GDAL can't get any SRS from a .shp? Should I add the EPSG code somewhere in a configuration file? Best regards, Steve Steve Toutant, M. Sc. Analyste en

RE: [gdal-dev] General Questions about gdal usage with Grib1 Data Set

There is now an additional wrinkle to the project. We need to now extract the 4 closest values for a given lat-lon point to complete a bilinear interpolation for added accuracy. Would the correct method be: (1) Use the suggestion that Frank made below about a hybrid approach to my original

Re: [gdal-dev] Problem closing VRT GDALDataset *

Hi Frank, Thanks for the help. It seems like you were correct. When I dereference the MEM dataset the post-decrement reference count is not 0. My question is: do I not close the MEM dataset since its reference count is not 0? Best Regards, Adeel Raza. Frank Warmerdam wrote: Adeel Raza

Re: [gdal-dev] Problem closing VRT GDALDataset *

Hi Frank, OK - my next question then is: If I close the VRT dataset if it references the MEM dataset using GDALClose(), would that operation also close the MEM dataset or would I need to close the MEM dataset after I close the VRT dataset? Best Regards, Adeel. Frank Warmerdam wrote: Adeel
