How to use GDALWarpAppOptions and GDALWarp in C++
Using GDALWarpAppOptions
and GDALWarp
in C++ involves setting up the necessary options and then calling the GDALWarp
function to perform the warping operation. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
Include the necessary headers: Make sure to include the GDAL headers in your C++ source file.
#include "gdal_priv.h"
#include "cpl_conv.h" // for CPLMalloc()
#include "gdalwarper.h"
Initialize GDAL: Before using any GDAL functions, you need to initialize the GDAL library.
GDALAllRegister();
Set up the warp options:
Use GDALWarpAppOptions
to specify the options for the warping operation.
GDALWarpAppOptions *psWarpOptions = GDALWarpAppOptionsNew(NULL, NULL);
You can set specific options using GDALWarpAppOptionsSetWarpOption
or directly through the GDALWarpAppOptions
structure.
Open the source dataset:
Use GDALOpen
to open the source dataset.
GDALDatasetH hSrcDS = GDALOpen("input.tif", GA_ReadOnly);
if (hSrcDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
}
Create the destination dataset: You can create an in-memory dataset or a file-based dataset for the output.
GDALDriverH hDriver = GDALGetDriverByName("GTiff");
GDALDatasetH hDstDS = GDALCreate(hDriver, "output.tif", nXSize, nYSize, nBands, GDT_Byte, NULL);
if (hDstDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
}
Perform the warp operation:
Use GDALWarp
to perform the warping operation.
GDALDatasetH hWarpedDS = GDALWarp("output.tif", hDstDS, 1, &hSrcDS, psWarpOptions, NULL);
if (hWarpedDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
}
Clean up: Close the datasets and free the warp options.
GDALClose(hSrcDS);
GDALClose(hDstDS);
GDALWarpAppOptionsFree(psWarpOptions);
Here is a complete example:
#include "gdal_priv.h"
#include "cpl_conv.h" // for CPLMalloc()
#include "gdalwarper.h"
int main() {
// Initialize GDAL
GDALAllRegister();
// Set up warp options
GDALWarpAppOptions *psWarpOptions = GDALWarpAppOptionsNew(NULL, NULL);
// You can set specific options here if needed
// GDALWarpAppOptionsSetWarpOption(psWarpOptions, "OPTION_NAME", "OPTION_VALUE");
// Open the source dataset
GDALDatasetH hSrcDS = GDALOpen("input.tif", GA_ReadOnly);
if (hSrcDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
return 1;
}
// Create the destination dataset
GDALDriverH hDriver = GDALGetDriverByName("GTiff");
GDALDatasetH hDstDS = GDALCreate(hDriver, "output.tif", 1024, 1024, GDALGetRasterCount(hSrcDS), GDT_Byte, NULL);
if (hDstDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
GDALClose(hSrcDS);
return 1;
}
// Perform the warp operation
GDALDatasetH hWarpedDS = GDALWarp("output.tif", hDstDS, 1, &hSrcDS, psWarpOptions, NULL);
if (hWarpedDS == NULL) {
// Handle error
GDALClose(hSrcDS);
GDALClose(hDstDS);
GDALWarpAppOptionsFree(psWarpOptions);
return 1;
}
// Clean up
GDALClose(hSrcDS);
GDALClose(hDstDS);
GDALWarpAppOptionsFree(psWarpOptions);
return 0;
}
This example demonstrates the basic steps to use GDALWarpAppOptions
and GDALWarp
in C++. You can customize the warp options and handle errors as needed for your specific use case.
