NAME¶
gdaltindex - gdaltindex builds a shapefile as a raster tileindex
SYNOPSIS¶
gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] [-write_absolute_path] [-skip_different_projection] index_file [gdal_file]*
DESCRIPTION¶
This program builds a shapefile with a record for each input raster file, an
attribute containing the filename, and a polygon geometry outlining the
raster. This output is suitable for use with MapServer as a raster tileindex.
- •
- The shapefile (index_file) will be created if it doesn't
already exist, otherwise it will append to the existing file.
- •
- The default tile index field is 'location'.
- •
- Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they
are specified on the commandline unless the option -write_absolute_path is
used.
- •
- If -skip_different_projection is specified, only files with
same projection ref as files already inserted in the tileindex will be
inserted.
- •
- Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same
coordinate system as the rasters.
EXAMPLE¶
gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif
