Examples of pkascii2img

We create a 5x5 raster dataset containing all 0 values except for its center (value=1)

cat input.txt
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0

We define a pixel size of 25 by 25 m and and a projected in the European projection system ETS89/LAEA. The location of the upper left pixel is also set:

pkascii2img -i input.txt -o output.tif -of GTiff -a_srs epsg:3035 -dx 25 -dy 25 -ulx 1000000 -uly 1000000

We check the output GeoTIFF using gdalinfo :

gdalinfo output.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: output.tif
Size is 5, 5
