[Gdal-dev] Warp / rotation

[Ed McNierney]

Steve -
 
Sorry, I don't mean to sound dense, but how do you define "convergence"?  Do you mean the grid convergence of the UTM projection (for example) at that point?
 
It sounds like you might be trying to select an area that is a rectangle in latitude/longitude and then clipping that area out of the UTM source image and reprojecting the results to a "geographic" (lat/long) projection.  Is that correct?  If not, please set me straight - thanks!

It'a a dynamic rotation, the convergence of whatever coordinate system you are woirking in, at the center of your area ot interest.

I think you missed the point - a rectangle rotated is no longer a rectangle.  It's a four-sided polygon, a quadrilateral, etc. - what's important is that you are requesting an area that, expressed in the source coordinate system, is not rectangular.  If the Y coordinates of the lower left and lower right corners are different, it's not a rectangle.
 
Can you provide a rigorous definition of your rotation?  "About 2 degrees CW" isn't precise enough.  If you can describe it mathematically, we can help you implement it!

The coordinates in the sample are UTMs and the rectangle is a rectangle, just rotated. I guess what I am looking for is a quick and easy way to pull the subimage with a rotation applied, maybe.
 
These are UTM's, but they really could be any kind of coordinate.

Dear Wizard -
 
The problem is that your "rectangle" isn't a rectangle!  You seem to be trying to reproject your image - can you describe the input and output projections you're using?  Those numbers make it look like your input data might be in UTM (but it could certainly be something else), but what is your desired output projection?

Hi, everybody
 
New to GDAL as well as using georeferenced raster images. I am trying to figure out how to do the following, and any help / insight would be greatly appreciated. I have put some numbers together as an example :
 
I have an image (tif/jpg/png) 5000 x 5000 that is georef with a world file
 
2
0
0
-2
667500
5864000
 
I would like to pull a sub image of this that is bound by a rectangle
 
 669273--------------------------- 670898
5862482--------------------------- 5862538
 
 
 
 669330--------------------------- 670956
5860859---------------------------5860910
 
 
I would like line # 1 of the sub-image to be along the top boundary of the rectangle, therefore it needs to be rotated by about 2 degrees cw.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Steve
