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
