GDAL Option Configuration
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
.. todo::
|
|
|
|
Why to use Env() instead of drivers().
|
|
|
|
When to use with rasterio.Env() instead of a bare rasterio.open()
|
|
|
|
|
|
GDAL format drivers and some parts of the library are configurable.
|
|
|
|
From https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions:
|
|
|
|
ConfigOptions are normally used to alter the default behavior of GDAL
|
|
and OGR drivers and in some cases the GDAL and OGR core. They are
|
|
essentially global variables the user can set.
|
|
|
|
GDAL Example
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The following is from `GDAL's test suite <https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/0b75aa3c39e6d126439fb17eed939de39f6f3720/autotest/gcore/tiff_read.py#L117-L119>`__.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
gdal.SetConfigOption('GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA', 'YES')
|
|
ds = gdal.Open('data/stefan_full_greyalpha.tif')
|
|
gdal.SetConfigOption('GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA', None)
|
|
|
|
With GDAL's C or Python API, you call a function once to set a global
|
|
configuration option before you need it and once again after you're through
|
|
to unset it.
|
|
|
|
Downsides of this style of configuration include:
|
|
|
|
- Options can be configured far from the code they affect.
|
|
- There is no API for finding what options are currently set.
|
|
- If ``gdal.Open()`` raises an exception in the code above, the
|
|
``GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA`` option will not be unset.
|
|
|
|
That code example can be generalized to multiple options and made to
|
|
recover better from errors.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
options = {'GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA': 'YES'}
|
|
for key, val in options.items():
|
|
gdal.SetConfigOption(key, val)
|
|
try:
|
|
ds = gdal.Open('data/stefan_full_greyalpha.tif')
|
|
finally:
|
|
for key, val in options.items():
|
|
gdal.SetConfigOption(key, None)
|
|
|
|
This is better, but has a lot of boilerplate. Rasterio uses elements of Python
|
|
syntax, keyword arguments and the |WITHST|_ statement, to make this cleaner
|
|
and easier to use.
|
|
|
|
Rasterio
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
with rasterio.Env(GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA=True, CPL_DEBUG=True):
|
|
with rasterio.open('data/stefan_full_greyalpha.tif') as ds:
|
|
# Suite of code accessing dataset ``ds`` follows...
|
|
|
|
The object returned when you call ``rasterio.Env()`` is a context manager. It
|
|
handles the GDAL configuration for a specific block of code and resets the
|
|
configuration when the block exits for any reason, success or failure. The
|
|
Rasterio ``with Env()`` pattern organizes GDAL configuration into single
|
|
statements and makes its relationship to a block of code clear.
|
|
|
|
If you want to know what options are configured at any time, you could bind it
|
|
to a name like so.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
with rasterio.Env(GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA=True, CPL_DEBUG=True) as env:
|
|
for key, val in env.options.items():
|
|
print(key, val)
|
|
|
|
# Prints:
|
|
# ('GTIFF_FORCE_RGBA', True)
|
|
# ('CPL_DEBUG', True)
|
|
