Hi,
I'm using the "GTiff" driver and using it to create an empty file.
Afterwards I write data to the (one and only) rasterband using a float
array as the buffer (the GDALDataType I use for the GDALDataset is
GDT_Float32 - I believe that should be ok). Then I warp the image
using the GDALAutoCreateWarpedVRT() function. I have noticed that after
the image is warped, the number of pixels are not the same as the
original TIFF image. Is this normal? I know this sounds like a stupid
question, but I need to be sure.
Secondly I was also wondering how the GDALRasterBand::RasterIO()
function feeds data into the raster band. I make a function call to the
RasterIO function according to the following code:
GDALDriver *tifDriver;
GDALDataset *srcDataset;
tifDriver = (GDALDriver *)GDALGetDriverByName("GTiff");
assert(tifDriver != NULL);
srcDataset = tifDriver->Create("srcDataset.tif", nCols, nRows, 1,
GDALDataType::GDT_Float32, NULL);
assert(srcDataset != NULL);
srcDataset->GetRasterBand(1)->RasterIO(GF_Write, 0, 0, nCols, nRows,
realCellVals, nCols, nRows, GDALDataType::GDT_Float32, 0 , 0);
Both nCols and nRows are unsigned shorts and realCellVals is defined as
"float *realCellVals = new float[nCols*nRows];". I have filled
realCellValls so that the row at the top of the raster image is the
first row and the row at the bottom of the raster image is the last row
in the array. Also columns indices increase from left to right. Will
this implementation work properly with the RasterIO() function or do I
need to arrange my array in another way? The reason why this is critical
is so that I can create a north up TIFF image, warp it to the desired
projection system, and get an affine geo transform of the warped north
up image so that GT[2] and GT[4] are 0 (GT is the returned affine geo
transform from the function - GDALDataset::GetGeoTransform()).
Lastly I initially tried the same approach using a virtual database and
creating it in memory using the GDALDriver::Create() function. I tried
using the GDALRasterBand::RasterIO() function on the database but I got
an error saying "writing to VRTWarpedRasterBands is not supported".
Therefore I had to use the tiff format to warp the image. Is there
anyway to bypass this so that I don't have to create a temporary tiff
file to warp my image?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Adeel.
