GDALProcessFunc is a typedef defining the signature of functions to be used with GDAL as callbacks to report the progress of long running processes. Typically these are functions that would update a GUI progress bar showing how much of a process is done.

A number of GDAL functions and methods accept GDALProcessFunc arguments along with an opaque application supplied data item (pProgressArg) which are then used to implement progress reporting. The GDALDataset::BuildOverviews(), and GDALDriver::CreateCopy() methods are examples of two methods that utilize the progress semantics.

  int (*GDALProgressFunc)(double dfComplete, const char *pszMessage, 
                          void *pProgressArg);
Parameters:
dfCompleteThe ratio of completness of the process from 0.0 for just started to 1.0 for completed.
pszMessageAn optional message string to display. This is usually NULL.
pProgressArgApplication supplied opaque data normally used by the callback to display the result.
Returns:
TRUE if the operation should continue or FALSE if the user has requested a cancel.

For example, an application might implement the following simple text progress reporting mechanism, using pData to pass a default message:

 int MyTextProgress( double dfComplete, const char *pszMessage, void *pData)
 {
     if( pszMessage != NULL )
         printf( "%d%% complete: %s\n", (int) (dfComplete*100), pszMessage );
     else if( pData != NULL )
         printf( "%d%% complete:%s\n", (int) (dfComplete*100),
                 (char) pData );
     else
         printf( "%d%% complete.\n", (int) (dfComplete*100) );
     
     return TRUE;
 }

This could be utilized with the GDALDataset::BuildOverviews() method like this:

      int       anOverviewList[3] = {2, 4, 8};

      poDataset->BuildOverviews( "NEAREST", 3, anOverviewList, 0, NULL, 
                                 MyTextProgress, "building overviews" );

In addition to reporting progress to the user, the GDALProcessFunc mechanism also provides a mechanism for a user interface to return a request from the user to cancel the operation to the algorithm via the return value. If FALSE is returned, the algorithm should terminate the operation and return as quickly as possible.

More often that implementing custom progress functions, applications will just use existing progress functions like GDALDummyProgress(), GDALTermProgress() and GDALScaledProgress(). Python scripts also can pass progress functions.

Application code implementing GDALProgressFunc semantics should remember a few things:

  1. Be wary of NULL progress functions being passed in. The pfnProgress argument can be set to GDALDummyProgress() in this case for simplicity.

  2. Always check the return value to watch for a FALSE indicating the operation should be terminated.

  3. The ratio of completeness should vary from 0.0 to 1.0. Please ensure the exact value 1.0 is always returned at the end of the algorithm as some gui display mechanisms use this as a clue to popdown the progress monitor.

This adds a pixel function to the global list of available pixel functions for derived bands.

Pixel functions must be registered in this way before a derived band tries to access data.

Derived bands are stored with only the name of the pixel function that it will apply, and if a pixel function matching the name is not found the IRasterIO() call will do nothing.

Parameters:
pszFuncNameName used to access pixel function
pfnNewFunctionPixel function associated with name. An existing pixel function registered with the same name will be replaced with the new one.
Returns:
CE_None, invalid (NULL) parameters are currently ignored.

void* GDALCreateScaledProgress ( double  dfMin,
double  dfMax,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pData 
)

Create scaled progress transformer.

Sometimes when an operations wants to report progress it actually invokes several subprocesses which also take GDALProgressFunc()s, and it is desirable to map the progress of each sub operation into a portion of 0.0 to 1.0 progress of the overall process. The scaled progress function can be used for this.

For each subsection a scaled progress function is created and instead of passing the overall progress func down to the sub functions, the GDALScaledProgress() function is passed instead.

Parameters:
dfMinthe value to which 0.0 in the sub operation is mapped.
dfMaxthe value to which 1.0 is the sub operation is mapped.
pfnProgressthe overall progress function.
pDatathe overall progress function callback data.
Returns:
pointer to pass as pProgressArg to sub functions. Should be freed with GDALDestroyScaledProgress().

Example:

   int MyOperation( ..., GDALProgressFunc pfnProgress, void *pProgressData );

   {
       void *pScaledProgress;

       pScaledProgress = GDALCreateScaledProgress( 0.0, 0.5, pfnProgress, 
                                                   pProgressData );
       GDALDoLongSlowOperation( ..., GDALScaledProgress, pScaledProgress );
       GDALDestroyScaledProgress( pScaledProgress );

       pScaledProgress = GDALCreateScaledProgress( 0.5, 1.0, pfnProgress, 
                                                   pProgressData );

int GDALGCPsToGeoTransform ( int  nGCPCount,
const GDAL_GCP pasGCPs,
double *  padfGeoTransform,

)

Generate Geotransform from GCPs.

Given a set of GCPs perform first order fit as a geotransform.

Due to imprecision in the calculations the fit algorithm will often return non-zero rotational coefficients even if given perfectly non-rotated inputs. A special case has been implemented for corner corner coordinates given in TL, TR, BR, BL order. So when using this to get a geotransform from 4 corner coordinates, pass them in this order.

Parameters:
nGCPCountthe number of GCPs being passed in.
pasGCPsthe list of GCP structures.
padfGeoTransformthe six double array in which the affine geotransformation will be returned.
bApproxOKIf FALSE the function will fail if the geotransform is not essentially an exact fit (within 0.25 pixel) for all GCPs.
Returns:
TRUE on success or FALSE if there aren't enough points to prepare a geotransform, the pointers are ill-determined or if bApproxOK is FALSE and the fit is poor.

General utility option processing.

This function is intended to provide a variety of generic commandline options for all GDAL commandline utilities. It takes care of the following commandline options:

--version: report version of GDAL in use. --license: report GDAL license info. --formats: report all format drivers configured. --format [format]: report details of one format driver. --optfile filename: expand an option file into the argument list. --config key value: set system configuration option. --debug [on/off/value]: set debug level. --mempreload dir: preload directory contents into /vsimem --help-general: report detailed help on general options.

The argument array is replaced "in place" and should be freed with CSLDestroy() when no longer needed. The typical usage looks something like the following. Note that the formats should be registered so that the --formats and --format options will work properly.

int main( int argc, char ** argv ) { GDALAllRegister();

argc = GDALGeneralCmdLineProcessor( argc, &argv, 0 ); if( argc < 1 ) exit( -argc );

Parameters:
nArgcnumber of values in the argument list.
Pointerto the argument list array (will be updated in place).
Returns:
updated nArgc argument count. Return of 0 requests terminate without error, return of -1 requests exit with error code.

GDALDriverH GDALIdentifyDriver ( const char *  pszFilename,
char **  papszFileList 
)

Identify the driver that can open a raster file.

This function will try to identify the driver that can open the passed file name by invoking the Identify method of each registered GDALDriver in turn. The first driver that successful identifies the file name will be returned. If all drivers fail then NULL is returned.

In order to reduce the need for such searches touch the operating system file system machinery, it is possible to give an optional list of files. This is the list of all files at the same level in the file system as the target file, including the target file. The filenames will not include any path components, are an essentially just the output of CPLReadDir() on the parent directory. If the target object does not have filesystem semantics then the file list should be NULL.

Parameters:
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset.
papszFileListan array of strings, whose last element is the NULL pointer. These strings are filenames that are auxiliary to the main filename. The passed value may be NULL.
Returns:
A GDALDriverH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDriver *.

Returns:
TRUE on success or FALSE if the equation is uninvertable.

int GDALLoadWorldFile ( const char *  pszFilename,

Read ESRI world file.

This function reads an ESRI style world file, and formats a geotransform from its contents.

The world file contains an affine transformation with the parameters in a different order than in a geotransform array.

  • geotransform[1] : width of pixel
  • geotransform[4] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[2] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[5] : height of pixel (but negative)
  • geotransform[0] + 0.5 * geotransform[1] + 0.5 * geotransform[2] : x offset to center of top left pixel.
  • geotransform[3] + 0.5 * geotransform[4] + 0.5 * geotransform[5] : y offset to center of top left pixel.
Parameters:
pszFilenamethe world file name.
padfGeoTransformthe six double array into which the geotransformation should be placed.
Returns:
TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

GDALDatasetH GDALOpen ( const char *  pszFilename,
GDALAccess  eAccess 
)

Open a raster file as a GDALDataset.

This function will try to open the passed file, or virtual dataset name by invoking the Open method of each registered GDALDriver in turn. The first successful open will result in a returned dataset. If all drivers fail then NULL is returned.

Several recommandations :

  • If you open a dataset object with GA_Update access, it is not recommanded to open a new dataset on the same underlying file.
  • The returned dataset should only be accessed by one thread at a time. If you want to use it from different threads, you must add all necessary code (mutexes, etc.) to avoid concurrent use of the object. (Some drivers, such as GeoTIFF, maintain internal state variables that are updated each time a new block is read, thus preventing concurrent use.)

GDALOpenShared()
Parameters:
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset.
eAccessthe desired access, either GA_Update or GA_ReadOnly. Many drivers support only read only access.
Returns:
A GDALDatasetH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDataset *.

GDALDatasetH GDALOpenShared ( const char *  pszFilename,
GDALAccess  eAccess 
)

Open a raster file as a GDALDataset.

This function works the same as GDALOpen(), but allows the sharing of GDALDataset handles for a dataset with other callers to GDALOpenShared().

In particular, GDALOpenShared() will first consult it's list of currently open and shared GDALDataset's, and if the GetDescription() name for one exactly matches the pszFilename passed to GDALOpenShared() it will be referenced and returned.

Starting with GDAL 1.6.0, if GDALOpenShared() is called on the same pszFilename from two different threads, a different GDALDataset object will be returned as it is not safe to use the same dataset from different threads, unless the user does explicitely use mutexes in its code.

See also:
GDALOpen()
Parameters:
pszFilenamethe name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset.
eAccessthe desired access, either GA_Update or GA_ReadOnly. Many drivers support only read only access.
Returns:
A GDALDatasetH handle or NULL on failure. For C++ applications this handle can be cast to a GDALDataset *.

Read ESRI world file.

This function reads an ESRI style world file, and formats a geotransform from its contents. It does the same as GDALLoadWorldFile() function, but it will form the filename for the worldfile from the filename of the raster file referred and the suggested extension.

The world file contains an affine transformation with the parameters in a different order than in a geotransform array.

  • geotransform[1] : width of pixel
  • geotransform[4] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[2] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[5] : height of pixel (but negative)
  • geotransform[0] + 0.5 * geotransform[1] + 0.5 * geotransform[2] : x offset to center of top left pixel.
  • geotransform[3] + 0.5 * geotransform[4] + 0.5 * geotransform[5] : y offset to center of top left pixel.
Parameters:
pszBaseFilenamethe target raster file.
pszExtensionthe extension to use (ie. ".wld") or NULL to derive it from the pszBaseFilename
padfGeoTransformthe six double array into which the geotransformation should be placed.

int  nOverviewCount,
GDALRasterBandH pahOvrBands,
const char *  pszResampling,
GDALProgressFunc  pfnProgress,
void *  pProgressData 
)

Generate downsampled overviews.

This function will generate one or more overview images from a base image using the requested downsampling algorithm. It's primary use is for generating overviews via GDALDataset::BuildOverviews(), but it can also be used to generate downsampled images in one file from another outside the overview architecture.

The output bands need to exist in advance.

The full set of resampling algorithms is documented in GDALDataset::BuildOverviews().

This function 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 independantly per band.

Parameters:
hSrcBandthe source (base level) band.
nOverviewCountthe number of downsampled bands being generated.
pahOvrBandsthe list of downsampled bands to be generated.
pszResamplingResampling algorithm (eg. "AVERAGE").
pfnProgressprogress report function.
pProgressDataprogress function callback data.
Returns:
CE_None on success or CE_Failure on failure.

void GDALSwapWords ( void *  pData,
int  nWordSize,
int  nWordCount,
int  nWordSkip 
)

Byte swap words in-place.

This function will byte swap a set of 2, 4 or 8 byte words "in place" in a memory array. No assumption is made that the words being swapped are word aligned in memory. Use the CPL_LSB and CPL_MSB macros from cpl_port.h to determine if the current platform is big endian or little endian. Use The macros like CPL_SWAP32() to byte swap single values without the overhead of a function call.

Parameters:
pDatapointer to start of data buffer.
nWordSizesize of words being swapped in bytes. Normally 2, 4 or 8.
nWordCountthe number of words to be swapped in this call.
nWordSkipthe byte offset from the start of one word to the start of the next. For packed buffers this is the same as nWordSize.

int GDALTermProgress ( double  dfComplete,
const char *  pszMessage,
void *  pProgressArg 
)

Simple progress report to terminal.

This progress reporter prints simple progress report to the terminal window. The progress report generally looks something like this:

0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

Every 2.5% of progress another number or period is emitted. Note that GDALTermProgress() uses internal static data to keep track of the last percentage reported and will get confused if two terminal based progress reportings are active at the same time.

The GDALTermProgress() function maintains an internal memory of the last percentage complete reported in a static variable, and this makes it unsuitable to have multiple GDALTermProgress()'s active eithin a single thread or across multiple threads.

Parameters:
dfCompletecompletion ratio from 0.0 to 1.0.
pszMessageoptional message.
pProgressArgignored callback data argument.
Returns:
Always returns TRUE indicating the process should continue.

int GDALValidateCreationOptions ( GDALDriverH  hDriver,
char **  papszCreationOptions 
)

Validate the list of creation options that are handled by a driver.

This is a helper method primarily used by Create() and CreateCopy() to validate that the passed in list of creation options is compatible with the GDAL_DMD_CREATIONOPTIONLIST metadata item defined by some drivers.

See also:
GDALGetDriverCreationOptionList()

If the GDAL_DMD_CREATIONOPTIONLIST metadata item is not defined, this function will return TRUE. Otherwise it will check that the keys and values in the list of creation options are compatible with the capabilities declared by the GDAL_DMD_CREATIONOPTIONLIST metadata item. In case of incompatibility a (non fatal) warning will be emited and FALSE will be returned.

Parameters:
hDriverthe handle of the driver with whom the lists of creation option must be validated
papszCreationOptionsthe list of creation options. An array of strings, whose last element is a NULL pointer
Returns:
TRUE if the list of creation options is compatible with the Create() and CreateCopy() method of the driver, FALSE otherwise.

Parameters:
pszRequestthe type of version info desired, as listed above.
Returns:
an internal string containing the requested information.

  • geotransform[2] : rotational coefficient, zero for north up images.
  • geotransform[5] : height of pixel (but negative)
  • geotransform[0] + 0.5 * geotransform[1] + 0.5 * geotransform[2] : x offset to center of top left pixel.
  • geotransform[3] + 0.5 * geotransform[4] + 0.5 * geotransform[5] : y offset to center of top left pixel.
Parameters:
pszBaseFilenamethe target raster file.
pszExtensionthe extension to use (ie. ".wld"). Must not be NULL
