DESCRIPTION
The gdal_edit.py script can be used to edit in place various
information of an existing GDAL dataset (projection, geotransform,
nodata, metadata).
It works only with raster formats that support update access to
existing datasets.
CAUTION: depending on the format, older values of the updated
information might still be found in the file in a 'ghost' state, even
if no longer accessible through the GDAL API. This is for example the
case of the GTiff format (this is not a exhaustive list)
--help-general:
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline
options and exit.
-ro:
(GDAL >= 1.11) Open the dataset in read-only. Might be useful for
drivers refusing to use the dataset in update-mode. In which case,
updated information will go into PAM .aux.xml files.
-a_srs srs_def:
Defines the target coordinate system. This coordinate system will be
written to the dataset. If the empty string or None is specified, then
the existing coordinate system will be removed (for TIFF/GeoTIFF, might
not be well supported besides that).
-a_ullr ulx uly lrx lry:
Assign/override the georeferenced bounds of the dataset.
-tr xres yres :
Set target resolution. The values must be expressed in
georeferenced units. Both must be positive values.
-unsetgt:
Remove the georeference information.
-unsetstats:
(GDAL >= 2.0) Remove band statistics information.
-stats:
(GDAL >= 2.0) Calculate and store band statistics.
-approx_stats:
(GDAL >= 2.0) Calculate and store approximate band statistics.
-a_nodata value:
Assign a specified nodata value to output bands.
-unsetnodata:
(GDAL >= 2.1) Remove existing nodata values.
-scale value:
(GDAL >= 2.2) Assign a specified scale value to output bands. If no
scale is needed, it it recommended to set the value to 1. Scale and
Offset are generally used together. For example, scale and offset
might be used to store elevations in a unsigned 16bit integer file
with a precision of 0.1, and starting from -100. True values would
be calculated as: true_value = (pixel_value * scale) + offset Note:
these values can be applied using -unscale during a gdal_translate
run.
-offset value:
(GDAL >= 2.2) Assign a specified offset value to output bands. If
no offset is needed, it recommended to set the value to 0. For more
see scale.
-gcp pixel line easting northing [elevation]:
Add the indicated ground control point to the dataset. This option
may be provided multiple times to provide a set of GCPs.
-unsetmd:
(GDAL >= 2.0) Remove existing metadata (in the default metadata
domain). Can be combined with -mo.
-mo 'META-TAG=VALUE':
Passes a metadata key and value to set on the output dataset if
possible. This metadata is added to the existing metadata items,
unless -unsetmd is also specified.
-oo 'NAME=VALUE':
(GDAL >= 2.0) Open option (format specific).
-a_ullr, -tr and -unsetgt options are exclusive.
-unsetstats and either -stats or -approx_stats options are exclusive.
