gdal_configurations

pyhelpers.settings.gdal_configurations(reset=False, max_tmpfile_size=None, interleaved_reading=True, custom_indexing=False, compress_nodes=True)[source]

Alters some default configuration options of GDAL/OGR drivers.

Parameters:

  • reset (bool) – Whether to reset to default settings; defaults to False.

  • max_tmpfile_size (int | None) – Maximum size of the temporary file; defaults to None.

  • interleaved_reading (bool) – Whether to enable interleaved reading; defaults to True.

  • custom_indexing (bool) – Whether to enable custom indexing; defaults to False.

  • compress_nodes (bool) – Whether to compress nodes in temporary database; defaults to True.

Examples:

>>> from pyhelpers.settings import gdal_configurations
>>> gdal_configurations()

Note

These configurations are particularly useful when working with GDAL to process large PBF files. For instance, these settings are applied by default in the pydriosm package for handling OpenStreetMap data in PBF format.
