GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data
formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source
license. As a library, it presents a single abstract data
model to the calling application for all supported formats.
The related OGR library (which lives within the GDAL source
tree) provides a similar capability for simple features
vector data. It includes roughly 40 format drivers. Current
