NAME

gdal-raster − Entry point for raster commands

Added in version 3.11.

SYNOPSIS

Usage: gdal raster <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS]
where <SUBCOMMAND> is one of:
− aspect: Generate an aspect map
− calc: Perform raster algebra
− clean−collar: Clean the collar of a raster dataset, removing noise.
− clip: Clip a raster dataset.
− color−map: Generate a RGB or RGBA dataset from a single band, using a color map
− contour: Creates a vector contour from a raster elevation model (DEM).
− convert: Convert a raster dataset.
− create: Create a new raster dataset.
− edit: Edit a raster dataset.
− fill−nodata: Fill nodata raster regions by interpolation from edges.
− footprint: Compute the footprint of a raster dataset.
− hillshade: Generate a shaded relief map
− index: Create a vector index of raster datasets.
− info: Return information on a raster dataset.
− mosaic: Build a mosaic, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
− overview: Manage overviews of a raster dataset.
− pipeline: Process a raster dataset.
− pixel−info: Return information on a pixel of a raster dataset.
− polygonize: Create a polygon feature dataset from a raster band.
− reclassify: Reclassify values in a raster dataset
− reproject: Reproject a raster dataset.
− resize: Resize a raster dataset without changing the georeferenced extents.
− roughness: Generate a roughness map
− scale: Scale the values of the bands of a raster dataset.
− select: Select a subset of bands from a raster dataset.
− set−type: Modify the data type of bands of a raster dataset.
− sieve: Remove small polygons from a raster dataset.
− slope: Generate a slope map
− stack: Combine together input bands into a multi−band output, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
− tile: Generate tiles in separate files from a raster dataset.
− tpi: Generate a Topographic Position Index (TPI) map
− tri: Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map
− unscale: Convert scaled values of a raster dataset into unscaled values.
− viewshed: Compute the viewshed of a raster dataset.

Common Options:
−h, −−help Display help message and exit
−−json−usage Display usage as JSON document and exit
−−config <KEY>=<VALUE> Configuration option [may be repeated]

Options:
−−drivers Display raster driver list as JSON document
