GDALG OUTPUT (ON-THE-FLY / STREAMED DATASET) A pipeline can be serialized as a JSON file using the GDALG output format. The resulting file can then be opened as a raster dataset using the GDALG: GDAL Streamed Algorithm driver, and apply the specified pipeline in a on-the-fly / streamed way. The command_line member of the JSON file should nominally be the whole com- mand line without the final write step, and is what is generated by gdal raster pipeline ! .... ! write out.gdalg.json. { "type": "gdal_streamed_alg", "command_line": "gdal raster pipeline ! read in.tif ! reproject --dst-crs=EPSG:32632" } The final write step can be added but if so it must explicitly specify the stream output format and a non-significant output dataset name. { "type": "gdal_streamed_alg", "command_line": "gdal raster pipeline ! read in.tif ! reproject --dst-crs=EPSG:32632 ! write --output-format=streamed streamed_dataset" } EXAMPLES Example 1: Reproject a GeoTIFF file to CRS EPSG:32632 ("WGS 84 / UTM zone 32N") and adding a metadata item $ gdal raster pipeline --progress ! read in.tif ! reproject --dst-crs=EPSG:32632 ! edit --metadata AUTHOR=EvenR ! write out.tif --overwrite Example 2: Serialize the command of a reprojection of a GeoTIFF file in a GDALG file, and later read it $ gdal raster pipeline --progress ! read in.tif ! reproject --dst-crs=EPSG:32632 ! write in_epsg_32632.gdalg.json --overwrite $ gdal raster info in_epsg_32632.gdalg.json AUTHOR Even Rouault <even.rouault@spatialys.com> COPYRIGHT 1998-2025 Oct 29, 2025 GDAL-RASTER-PIPELINE(1)
