A noGDAL tool for reading and writing geotiff files

WARNING this package is under development and some features are unstable. Use with caution.

What is noGDAL?

noGDAL is a philosophy for developing geospatial programs in python without using GDAL.

Instillation

Installing this package is as easy as:

pip install geotiff

Usage

Read the GeoTiff to an array

from geotiff import GeoTiff

geoTiff = GeoTiff(tiff_file)
array = geoTiff.read()

Read a sections of a large tiff using a WGS 84 area

from geotiff import GeoTiff

area_box = [(138.632071411, -32.447310785), (138.644218874, -32.456979174)]
geotiff = GeoTiff(tiff_file)
array = geotiff.read_box(area_box)

This will detect and convert coordinates into WGS 84

You can also get the coordinated of the actual bounding box

geotiff.tif_bBox

And the original crs code

geotiff.crs_code
