◆ pathIsCheapToOpen()

bool QgsGdalUtils::pathIsCheapToOpen	(	const QString &	path,
		int	smallFileSizeLimit = `50000`
	)

static

Returns true if the dataset at the specified path is considered "cheap" to open.

Datasets which are considered cheap to open may correspond to very small file sizes, or data types which only require some inexpensive header parsing to open.

One use case for this method is to test whether a remote dataset can be safely opened to resolve the geometry types and other metadata without causing undue network traffic.

The smallFileSizeLimit argument specifies the maximum file size (in bytes) which will be considered as small.

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 596 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ resampleImage()

QImage QgsGdalUtils::resampleImage	(	const QImage &	image,
		QSize	outputSize,
		GDALRIOResampleAlg	resampleAlg
	)

static

Resamples a QImage image using GDAL resampler.

Since: QGIS 3.12

Definition at line 311 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ resampleSingleBandRaster() [1/2]

bool QgsGdalUtils::resampleSingleBandRaster	(	GDALDatasetH	hSrcDS,
		GDALDatasetH	hDstDS,
		GDALResampleAlg	resampleAlg,
		const char *	pszCoordinateOperation
	)

static

Resamples a single band raster to the destination dataset with different resolution (and possibly with different CRS).

Ideally the source dataset should cover the whole area or the destination dataset.

In case of different CRS, the parameter pszCoordinateOperation is the Proj coordinate operation string, that can be obtained with QgsCoordinateTransformContext::calculateCoordinateOperation()

Returns: true on success

Since: QGIS 3.8

Definition at line 284 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ resampleSingleBandRaster() [2/2]

bool QgsGdalUtils::resampleSingleBandRaster	(	GDALDatasetH	hSrcDS,
		GDALDatasetH	hDstDS,
		GDALResampleAlg	resampleAlg,
		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	sourceCrs,
		const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem &	destinationCrs
	)

static

Resamples a single band raster to the destination dataset with different resolution and different CRS.

Ideally the source dataset should cover the whole area or the destination dataset.

Note: If possible, it is preferable to use the overload method with parameter pszCoordinateOperation. But if it is not possible or it fails to obtain the Proj coordinate operation string, this function is an alternative.

Returns: true on success

Since: QGIS 3.30

Definition at line 295 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ rpcAwareAutoCreateWarpedVrt()

GDALDatasetH QgsGdalUtils::rpcAwareAutoCreateWarpedVrt	(	GDALDatasetH	hSrcDS,
		const char *	pszSrcWKT,
		const char *	pszDstWKT,
		GDALResampleAlg	eResampleAlg,
		double	dfMaxError,
		const GDALWarpOptions *	psOptionsIn
	)

static

This is a copy of GDALAutoCreateWarpedVRT optimized for imagery using RPC georeferencing that also sets RPC_HEIGHT in GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2 based on HEIGHT_OFF.

By default GDAL would assume that the imagery has zero elevation - if that is not the case, the image would not be shown in the correct location.

Since: QGIS 3.14

Definition at line 418 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ rpcAwareCreateTransformer()

void * QgsGdalUtils::rpcAwareCreateTransformer	(	GDALDatasetH	hSrcDS,
		GDALDatasetH	hDstDS = `nullptr`,
		char **	papszOptions = `nullptr`
	)

static

This is a wrapper around GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2() that takes into account RPC georeferencing (it sets RPC_HEIGHT in GDALCreateGenImgProjTransformer2 based on HEIGHT_OFF).

By default GDAL would assume that the imagery has zero elevation - if that is not the case, the image would not be shown in the correct location.

Since: QGIS 3.16

QString QgsGdalUtils::validateCreationOptionsFormat	(	const QStringList &	createOptions,
		const QString &	format

Since: QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 402 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ vrtMatchesLayerType()

bool QgsGdalUtils::vrtMatchesLayerType	(	const QString &	vrtPath,
		Qgis::LayerType	type
	)

static

Returns true if the VRT file at the specified path is a VRT matching the given layer type.

Since: QGIS 3.22

Definition at line 796 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ vsiArchiveFileExtensions()

QStringList QgsGdalUtils::vsiArchiveFileExtensions ( )

static

Returns a list of file extensions which correspond to archive style containers supported by GDAL (e.g.

"zip").

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 770 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.

◆ vsiArchivePrefixes()

QStringList QgsGdalUtils::vsiArchivePrefixes ( )

static

Returns a list of vsi prefixes which correspond to archive style containers (eg vsizip).

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 752 of file qgsgdalutils.cpp.
