1.5.1.1.11.1.4. polar2grid.writers.geotiff module¶

The GeoTIFF writer puts gridded image data into a standard GeoTIFF file.

It uses the GDAL python API and rasterio python package to create the GeoTIFF files. It can handle any grid that can be described by PROJ.4 and understood by the GeoTIFF format.

By default the ‘geotiff’ writer will add an “Alpha” band to the file to mark any invalid or missing data pixels. This results in invalid pixels showing up as transparent in most image viewers.
