| PackageDescription | Java bindings to the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats.
As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the
calling application for all supported formats. The related OGR
library (which lives within the GDAL source tree) provides
a similar capability for simple features vector data.
.
GDAL supports 40+ popular data formats, including commonly used
ones (GeoTIFF, JPEG, PNG and more) as well as the ones used in
GIS and remote sensing software packages (ERDAS Imagine,
ESRI Arc/Info, ENVI, PCI Geomatics). Also supported many remote
sensing and scientific data distribution formats such as HDF,
EOS FAST, NOAA L1B, NetCDF, FITS.
.
OGR library supports popular vector formats like ESRI Shapefile,
TIGER data, S57, MapInfo File, DGN, GML and more.

This package contains Java bindings for GDAL/OGR library. |
