Where can I find the official docs for gdal/ogr python API?



I am looking for something comprehensive which shows all the classes with descriptions of their attributes, methods and input/output types. So far I have been using https://www.gdal.org/annotated.html but this appears to have been generated for an older version of gdal/ogr. For instance I am using gdal version 2.2.2 and it appears that in the docs the OGRDriver class is not shown, only the GDALdriver class is shown. At the bottom of the link the following is stated:




Created for gdal by doxygen 1.8.8




I'm not sure if 1.8.8 refers to gdal version or doxygen version, in any case I would like to find the proper documentation for the version of gdal I am using?






python gdal ogr

  • If you just want to use Python for GIS with more python like API you can also use Fiona or Rasterio. More information is availible here.

You can find official GDAL documentation at https://gdal.org/



All classes documentations are here:



  • C/C++ API - https://gdal.org/hierarchy.html

  • Python API - https://gdal.org/python/

Also you can read Raster API tutorial and Vector API tutorial



For python there are examples in tutorial, but the best place is GDAL tests, which written in python: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/tree/master/autotest



Most of python usage are covered by this tests.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
