Hi Eric,

you might try to use a /vsimem/ path. For example, save your image to "/vsimem/myimage.tif" and open it as QgsRasterLayer. I haven't tested it with gdal.Datasets, but it works with with ogr.DataSources. Probably you shouldn't overwrite or delete the "/vsimem" object while QGIS has still a reference on it.

More details here: https://gdal.org/user/virtual_file_systems.html#vsimem-in-memory-files

Greetings,

Benjamin

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to draw grids and lines from numpy arrays without driving to a raster/vector file first. I tried using the gdal 'MEM' driver to make a gdal Dataset from a numpy array and pass that in as a QgsRasterLayer, I get the following:

memobj
<osgeo.gdal.Dataset; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'GDALDatasetShadow *' at 0x0000019B3131AC30> >
QgsRasterLayer(memobj, 'testlayer', 'gdal') Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: QgsRasterLayer(): arguments did not match any overloaded call:
overload 1: too many arguments
overload 2: argument 1 has unexpected type 'Dataset'

The only other approach that I could find was:

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/201804/how-to-create-raster-layer-directly-from-numpy-array-in-qgis-without-saving-to

but I suspect that the return from the processing.run command is probably a temp file, so it is still going to file. Is there not a way to generate a raster layer from a numpy array without writing to file first?

Thanks,
Eric
