RS_SetGeoReference

Sets the affine geotransform of a raster from a world-file georeference string of six whitespace-separated numbers in the order scalex, skewy, skewx, scaley, upperleftx, upperlefty — the same order RS_GeoReference emits. The format is ‘GDAL’ (default) or ‘ESRI’; in GDAL the upper-left coordinates refer to the corner of the upper-left pixel, while in ESRI they refer to its center. This is metadata-only: raster cell values are not resampled.

Usage

raster RS_SetGeoReference(rast: raster, georeference: string)
raster RS_SetGeoReference(rast: raster, georeference: string, format: string)

Arguments

  • rast (raster): Input raster
  • georeference (string): Six whitespace-separated numbers — scalex, skewy, skewx, scaley, upperleftx, upperlefty.
  • format (string): Coordinate convention for the upper-left values: ‘GDAL’ (default; alias ‘PIXEL’) places them at the pixel corner, ‘ESRI’ (alias ‘NODE’) at the pixel center. The center-to-corner shift maps through the full affine transform, so it is exact for skewed (rotated) rasters too.

See Coordinate Reference Systems for how SedonaDB represents and compares CRS.
