General Geospatial tools

Introduction

libgeogeneral is a basic set of tools to manipulate vector and raster objects. The toolset is based on GDAL/OGR but simplifies the interfaces for ease of use.

GeoVector.cpp

The GeoVector class includes all the basic tools to instantiate a vector object and read or write feature geometries and attributes, copy, filter using a sql query, etc.

GeoRaster.cpp

The GeoRaster class includes the same type of tools for raster datasets as well as tools to read and write bands into buffers. Additionally, there are built in transforms for converting between geographic and pixel coordinates as well as buffer offset.

Files

There are several file handling functions to :

1. check if a file exists
2. list the available files matching a user privided filter string
