ogrtools is a collection of libraries and tools built with the Python API of OGR.
pyogr gives you OGR commands like ogr2ogr or ogrinfo as Python library, i.e. without calling an external executable file. Most of the code is already included in the OGR source distribution as samples for using the Python API.
- ogr2ogr.py: ogr2ogr call with stdout/stderr redirection
- ogrinfo.py: ogrinfo call
- ogrvrt.py: generate a VRT from a datasource
- ogrds.py: Call OGR SQL commands on a datasource
Extensions for the OGR Interlis driver.
- Automatic detection of used models in transfer files
- Extracting enums from IlisMeta model
- Loading and converting of Interlis models from model repositories
OGR has many options to transform data when converting from one format into an other. The ogrtransform library uses a configuration in JSON format to transform data.
Example:
{

"src_format": "Interlis 2",
"dst_format": "PostgreSQL",
"dst_dsco": {},
