NAME
gdalmdimtranslate - Converts multidimensional data between different formats, and perform
subsetting.
SYNOPSIS
gdalmdimtranslate [--help-general] [-co "NAME=VALUE"]*
[-if format]* [-of format]
[-array <array_spec>]*
[-group <group_spec>]*
[-subset <subset_spec>]*
[-scaleaxes <scaleaxes_spec>]*
[-oo NAME=VALUE]*
<src_filename> <dst_filename>
DESCRIPTION
gdalmdimtranslate program converts multidimensional raster between different formats,
and/or can perform selective conversion of specific arrays and groups, and/or subsetting
operations.
The following command line parameters can appear in any order.
-if <format>
Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally not
necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver detection,
when it fails to select the appropriate driver. This option can be repeated
several times to specify several candidate drivers.
New in version 3.2.
-of <format>
Select the output format. This can be a format that supports multidimensional
output (such as NetCDF: Network Common Data Form, Multidimensional VRT), or a
"classic" 2D formats, if only one single 2D array results of the other specified
conversion operations. When this option is not specified, the format is guessed
when possible from the extension of the destination filename.
-co <NAME=VALUE>
Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be used to control
particulars about the file created.
The creation options available vary by format driver, and some simple formats have
no creation options at all. A list of options supported for a format can be listed
with the --formats command line option but the documentation for the format is the
definitive source of information on driver creation options. See Raster drivers
format specific documentation for legal creation options for each format.
Array-level creation options may be passed by prefixing them with ARRAY:. See
GDALGroup::CopyFrom() for further details regarding such options.
-array <array_spec>
Instead of converting the whole dataset, select one array, and possibly perform
operations on it. This option can be specified several times to operate on
different arrays.
<array_spec> may be just an array name, potentially using a fully qualified syntax
(/group/subgroup/array_name). Or it can be a combination of options with the
syntax:
name={src_array_name}[,dstname={dst_array_name}][,transpose=[{axis1},{axis2},...][,view={view_expr}]
[{axis1},{axis2},...] is the argument of GDALMDArray::Transpose(). For example,
transpose=[1,0] switches the axis order of a 2D array.
{view_expr} is the value of the viewExpr argument of GDALMDArray::GetView()
When specifying a view_expr that performs a slicing or subsetting on a dimension,
the equivalent operation will be applied to the corresponding indexing variable.
-group <group_spec>
Instead of converting the whole dataset, select one group, and possibly perform
operations on it. This option can be specified several times to operate on
different groups. If only one group is specified, its content will be copied
directly to the target root group. If several ones are specified, they are copied
under the target root group
<group_spec> may be just a group name, potentially using a fully qualified syntax
(/group/subgroup/subsubgroup_name). Or it can be a combination of options with the
syntax: name={src_group_name}[,dstname={dst_group_name}][,recursive=no]
-subset <subset_spec>
Performs a subsetting (trimming or slicing) operation along a dimension, provided
that it is indexed by a 1D variable of numeric or string data type, and whose
values are monotically sorted. <subset_spec> follows exactly the OGC WCS 2.0 KVP
encoding for subsetting.
That is dim_name(min_val,max_val) or dim_name(sliced_val) The first syntax will
subset the dimension dim_name to values in the [min_val,max_val] range. The second
syntax will slice the dimension dim_name to value sliced_val (and this dimension
will be removed from the arrays that reference to it)
Using -subset is incompatible of specifying a view option in -array.
-scaleaxes <scaleaxes_spec>
Applies a integral scale factor to one or several dimensions, that is extract 1
value every N values (without resampling).
<scaleaxes_spec> follows exactly the syntax of the KVP encoding of the SCALEAXES
parameter of OGC WCS 2.0 Scaling Extension, but limited to integer scale factors.
That is dim1_name(scale_factor)[,dim2_name(scale_factor)]*
Using -scaleaxes is incompatible of specifying a view option in -array.
-oo <NAME=VALUE>
New in version 3.4.
Source dataset open option (format specific)
<src_dataset>
The source dataset name.
<dst_dataset>
The destination file name.
C API
This utility is also callable from C with GDALMultiDimTranslate().
EXAMPLES
• Convert a netCDF file to a multidimensional VRT file
$ gdalmdimtranslate in.nc out.vrt
• Extract a 2D slice of a time,Y,X array
$ gdalmdimtranslate in.nc out.tif -subset 'time("2010-01-01")' -array temperature
• Subsample along X and Y axis
$ gdalmdimtranslate in.nc out.nc -scaleaxes "X(2),Y(2)"
• Reorder the values of a time,Y,X array along the Y axis from top-to-bottom to
bottom-to-top (or the reverse)
$ gdalmdimtranslate in.nc out.nc -array "name=temperature,view=[:,::-1,:]"
• Transpose an array that has X,Y,time dimension order to time,Y,X
$ gdalmdimtranslate in.nc out.nc -array "name=temperature,transpose=[2,1,0]"
