builds a shapefile as a raster tileindex
Usage:
gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] index_file [gdal_file]*
This program builds a shapefile with a record for each input raster file, an attribute containing the filename, and a polygon geometry outlining the raster. This output is suitable for use with UMN MapServer as a raster tileindex.
-
The shapefile (index_file) will be created if it doesn't already exist.
-
The default tile index field is 'location'.
-
Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are specified on the commandline.
-
Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same coordinate system as the rasters.
Example:
gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif
