package documentation

This module houses ctypes interfaces for GDAL objects. The following GDAL objects are supported:

CoordTransform: Used for coordinate transformations from one spatial: reference system to another.

Driver: Wraps an OGR data source driver.

DataSource: Wrapper for the OGR data source object, supports: OGR-supported data sources.
Envelope: A ctypes structure for bounding boxes (GDAL library: not required).

OGRGeometry: Object for accessing OGR Geometry functionality.

OGRGeomType: A class for representing the different OGR Geometry: types (GDAL library not required).

SpatialReference: Represents OSR Spatial Reference objects.

The GDAL library will be imported from the system path using the default library name for the current OS. The default library path may be overridden by setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings with the path to the GDAL C library on your system.

Module	`base`	Undocumented
Module	`datasource`	DataSource is a wrapper for the OGR Data Source object, which provides an interface for reading vector geometry data from many different file formats (including ESRI shapefiles).
Module	`driver`	Undocumented
Module	`envelope`	No summary
Module	`error`	This module houses the GDAL & SRS Exception objects, and the check_err() routine which checks the status code returned by GDAL/OGR methods.
Module	`feature`	No module docstring; 1/1 class documented
Module	`field`	No module docstring; 0/2 variable, 1/15 class documented
Module	`geometries`	No summary
Module	`geomtype`	Undocumented
Module	`layer`	No module docstring; 1/1 class documented
Module	`libgdal`	No module docstring; 0/8 variable, 1/4 function documented

Module	`srs`	The Spatial Reference class, represents OGR Spatial Reference objects.

From __init__.py:

Class	`CoordTransform`	The coordinate system transformation object.
Class	`DataSource`	Wraps an OGR Data Source object.
Class	`Driver`	No summary
Class	`Envelope`	The Envelope object is a C structure that contains the minimum and maximum X, Y coordinates for a rectangle bounding box. The naming of the variables is compatible with the OGR Envelope structure.
Class	`GDALException`	Undocumented
Class	`GDALRaster`	Wrap a raster GDAL Data Source object.
Class	`OGRGeometry`	Encapsulate an OGR geometry.
Class	`OGRGeomType`	Encapsulate OGR Geometry Types.
Class	`SpatialReference`	A wrapper for the OGRSpatialReference object. According to the GDAL web site, the SpatialReference object "provide[s] services to represent coordinate systems (projections and datums) and to transform between them."
Class	`SRSException`	Undocumented
Constant	`GDAL_VERSION`	Undocumented
Class	`AxisOrder`	Undocumented
Function	`check_err`	Check the given CPL/OGRERR and raise an exception where appropriate.
Function	`gdal_full_version`	Return the full GDAL version information.
Function	`gdal_version`	Return only the GDAL version number information.

def check_err(code, cpl=False):

Check the given CPL/OGRERR and raise an exception where appropriate.

GDAL_VERSION =

Undocumented

Value
