GDAL-VECTOR(1) GDAL GDAL-VECTOR(1) NAME gdal-vector - Entry point for vector commands Added in version 3.11. SYNOPSIS Usage: gdal vector <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS] where <SUBCOMMAND> is one of: - buffer: Compute a buffer around geometries of a vector dataset. - check-coverage: Check a polygon coverage for validity - check-geometry: Check a dataset for invalid geometries - clean-coverage: Alter polygon boundaries to make shared edges identical, removing gaps and overlaps - clip: Clip a vector dataset. - combine: Combine features into collections - concat: Concatenate vector datasets. - concave-hull: Compute the concave hull of geometries of a vector dataset. - convert: Convert a vector dataset. - convex-hull: Compute the convex hull of geometries of a vector dataset. - create: Create a vector dataset. - dissolve: Dissolves multipart features - edit: Edit metadata of a vector dataset. - explode-collections: Explode geometries of type collection of a vector dataset. - export-schema: Export the OGR_SCHEMA from a vector dataset. - filter: Filter a vector dataset. - grid: Create a regular grid from scattered points. - index: Create a vector index of vector datasets. - info: Return information on a vector dataset. - layer-algebra: Perform algebraic operation between 2 layers. - make-point: Create point geometries from attribute fields - make-valid: Fix validity of geometries of a vector dataset. - partition: Partition a vector dataset into multiple files. - pipeline: Process a vector dataset applying several steps. - rasterize: Burns vector geometries into a raster. - rename-layer: Rename layer(s) of a vector dataset. - reproject: Reproject a vector dataset. - segmentize: Segmentize geometries of a vector dataset. - select: Select a subset of fields from a vector dataset. - set-field-type: Modify the type of a field of a vector dataset. - set-geom-type: Modify the geometry type of a vector dataset. - simplify: Simplify geometries of a vector dataset. - simplify-coverage: Simplify shared boundaries of a polygonal vector dataset. - sort: Spatially order the features in a layer - sql: Apply SQL statement(s) to a dataset. - swap-xy: Swap X and Y coordinates of geometries of a vector dataset. - update: Update an existing vector dataset with an input vector dataset.
