rio edit_info

Edit a dataset’s metadata: coordinate reference system, affine transformation matrix, nodata value, and tags.

The coordinate reference system may be either a PROJ.4 or EPSG:nnnn string,

–crs ‘EPSG:4326’

or a JSON text-encoded PROJ.4 object.

–crs ‘{“proj”: “utm”, “zone”: 18, …}’

Transforms are JSON-encoded Affine objects like:

–transform ‘[300.038, 0.0, 101985.0, 0.0, -300.042, 2826915.0]’

Prior to Rasterio 1.0 GDAL geotransforms were supported for –transform, but are no longer supported.

Metadata items may also be read from an existing dataset using a combination of the –like option with at least one of –all, –crs like, –nodata like, and –transform like.

rio edit-info example.tif –like template.tif –all

To get just the transform from the template:

rio edit-info example.tif –like template.tif –transform like

rio edit_info [OPTIONS] INPUT

Options

-b, --bidx <bidx>

Input file band index (default: 1).

--nodata <NUMBER|nan|null>

Modify the Nodata value.

--unset-nodata

Unset the dataset’s nodata value.

--crs <crs>

New coordinate reference system

--unset-crs

Unset the dataset’s CRS value.

--transform <transform>

New affine transform matrix

--units <units>

Edit units of a band (requires –bidx)

--description <description>

Edit description of a band (requires –bidx)

--tag <KEY=VAL>

New tag.

--all

Copy all metadata items from the template file.

--colorinterp <name[,name,...]|RGB|RGBA|like>

Set color interpretation for all bands like ‘red,green,blue,alpha’. Can also use ‘RGBA’ as shorthand for ‘red,green,blue,alpha’ and ‘RGB’ for the same sans alpha band. Use ‘like’ to inherit color interpretation from ‘–like’.

--like <like>

Raster dataset to use as a template for obtaining affine transform (bounds and resolution), crs, and nodata values.
