Read and write raster geospatial files straight from Node.js with this native GDAL binding. GDAL 1.11.0 comes bundled, so node-gdal will work straight out of the box.
$ npm install gdal --saveTo link against shared libgdal, install using:
$ npm install --shared_gdalvar gdal = require('gdal');
var driver = gdal.getDriverByName("GTiff");
var dataset = gdal.open("./examples/sample.tif");
console.log("number of bands: " + dataset.getRasterCount());
console.log("width: " + dataset.getRasterXSize());
console.log("height: " + dataset.getRasterYSize());
console.log("geotransform: " + dataset.getGeoTransform());$ npm testCopyright © 2014 Brandon Reavis & Contributors
