I use a VRT file as an index to a large set of detailed, tiled
scans of the Netherlands, built with gdalbuildvrt. I recently
discovered how to transform this map on the fly, so that it
exactly aligns to older maps in different coordinate systems. It's
just a matter of adapting the <geotransform> item in the VRT
file.<br>
<br>
So I can copy the VRT file for every old map, and adapt the
<geotransform> in each of them. This means that all VRT
files will be identical, except for the <geotransform> line.
The VRT files are quite large, because they cover lots of tiles.
Can anyone here think of a method to do this with one central VRT
file, in which only the <geotransform> line is plugged that
is required for the particular old map? Something like a symbolic
link to concatenate the variable and stable parts of the VRT file?<br>
