NAME

gdaltindex - builds a shapefile as a raster tileindex

SYNOPSIS

 
 gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] [-write_absolute_path] [-skip_different_projection] index_file [gdal_file]*
 

DESCRIPTION

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, otherwise it will append to the existing file.
The default tile index field is 'location'.
Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are specified on the commandline unless the option -write_absolute_path is used.
If -skip_different_projection is specified, only files with same projection ref as files already inserted in the tileindex will be inserted.
Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same coordinate system as the rasters.

EXAMPLE

 
 gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif
