library1.34.1pypypiunverified

A GDAL-based tile source for large_image, enabling reading geospatial raster formats (GeoTIFF, JPEG2000, etc.) as tile pyramids. Version 1.34.1, actively maintained, part of the girder/large_image ecosystem. Release cadence: ~monthly.

GDALFileTileSource

✓ from large_image_source_gdal import GDALFileTileSource

✗ from large_image import GDALFileTileSource

GDALFileTileSource is in the separate source package, not in the core large_image.

Open a GeoTIFF and fetch a single tile.

from large_image_source_gdal import GDALFileTileSource source = GDALFileTileSource('path/to/geotiff.tif') tile = source.getTile(0, 0, 0) print(tile.shape)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaGDAL must be installed and available on the system PATH. pip install of the Python package does NOT install the GDAL C library.

fix

Install GDAL via conda (conda install gdal) or system package manager (apt install gdal-bin libgdal-dev).

affects: all

gotchaTile coordinates (x, y, z) follow the large_image convention: x and y are column/row at the given zoom level. Starting at 0/0/0 for the top-left tile. Misalignment with standard GIS tiling schemes (e.g., TMS) is common.

fix

Use large_image's internal coordinate system; convert from TMS using source.tileXYToLatLng or similar helpers.

affects: all

deprecatedGirder integration is marked for removal (girder < 5). Rely on pure large_image usage without girder dependency.

fix

Use large-image-source-gdal without the girder extra: pip install large-image-source-gdal (no [girder]).

affects: >=1.34.0
