GDAL-VECTOR-GEOM-SWAP-XY(1) GDAL GDAL-VECTOR-GEOM-SWAP-XY(1) NAME gdal-vector-geom-swap-xy - Swap X and Y coordinates of geometries of a vector datasett Added in version 3.11. SYNOPSIS Usage: gdal vector geom swap-xy [OPTIONS] <INPUT> <OUTPUT> Swap X and Y coordinates of geometries of a vector dataset. Positional arguments: -i, --input <INPUT> Input vector datasets [required] -o, --output <OUTPUT> Output vector dataset [required] Common Options: -h, --help Display help message and exit --json-usage Display usage as JSON document and exit --config <KEY>=<VALUE> Configuration option [may be repeated] --progress Display progress bar Options: -l, --layer, --input-layer <INPUT-LAYER> Input layer name(s) [may be repeated] -f, --of, --format, --output-format <OUTPUT-FORMAT> Output format ("GDALG" allowed) --co, --creation-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Creation option [may be repeated] --lco, --layer-creation-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Layer creation option [may be repeated] --overwrite Whether overwriting existing output is allowed --update Whether to open existing dataset in update mode --overwrite-layer Whether overwriting existing layer is allowed --append Whether appending to existing layer is allowed --output-layer <OUTPUT-LAYER> Output layer name --active-layer <ACTIVE-LAYER> Set active layer (if not specified, all) --active-geometry <ACTIVE-GEOMETRY> Geometry field name to which to restrict the processing (if not specified, all) Advanced Options: --if, --input-format <INPUT-FORMAT> Input formats [may be repeated] --oo, --open-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Open options [may be repeated] DESCRIPTION gdal vector geom swap-xy swaps the X and Y coordinates of geometries, typically to work around axis order issues of coordinate reference sys- tems. It can also be used as a step of gdal vector pipeline. Standard options -f, --of, --format, --output-format <OUTPUT-FORMAT> Which output vector format to use. Allowed values may be given by gdal --formats | grep vector | grep rw | sort --co <NAME>=<VALUE> Many formats have one or more optional dataset creation options that can be used to control particulars about the file created. For instance, the GeoPackage driver supports creation options to control the version. May be repeated. The dataset creation options available vary by format driver, and some simple formats have no creation options at all. A list of options supported for a format can be listed with the --formats command line option but the documentation for the for- mat is the definitive source of information on driver creation options. See Vector drivers format specific documentation for legal creation options for each format. Note that dataset creation options are different from layer cre- ation options. -lco <NAME>=<VALUE> Layer creation option (format specific) --overwrite Allow program to overwrite existing target file or dataset. Otherwise, by default, gdal errors out if the target file or dataset already exists. --active-layer <ACTIVE-LAYER> Set the active layer. When it is specified, only the layer spec- ified by its name will be subject to the processing. Other lay- ers will be not modified. If this option is not specified, all layers will be subject to the processing. --active-geometry <ACTIVE-GEOMETRY> Set the active geometry field from its name. When it is speci- fied, only the specified geometry field will be subject to the processing. Other geometry fields will be not modified. If this option is not specified, all geometry fields will be subject to the processing. This option can be combined together with --active-layer. Advanced options --oo <NAME>=<VALUE> Dataset open option (format specific). May be repeated. --if <format> Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver detection, when it fails to select the ap- propriate driver. This option can be repeated several times to specify several candidate drivers. Note that it does not force those drivers to open the dataset. In particular, some drivers have requirements on file extensions. May be repeated. GDALG OUTPUT (ON-THE-FLY / STREAMED DATASET) This program supports serializing the command line as a JSON file using the GDALG output format. The resulting file can then be opened as a vector dataset using the GDALG: GDAL Streamed Algorithm driver, and ap- ply the specified pipeline in a on-the-fly / streamed way.
