[Gdal-dev] gdaldataset writeraster

[Gong, Shawn]

Thank you, William.

I used your clue as follows and it worked.

        gdalnumeric.BandWriteArray(msi_dataset.GetRasterBand(1), r) 
        ......
        gdal.GetDriverByName("GTiff").CreateCopy(outfile_name, msi_dataset)

Hi list,

I open a gdaldataset, have done manipulation to r,g,b and nir bands.
Now I'd like to save the 4 bands back to original gdaldataset or a new
dataset.
Can't seem to get gdaldataset's WriteRaster() working, or is it the
right method?
Please help.

        fname1 = 'file3.tif'
        msi_dataset = gdal.Open(fname1)
        msi_array = msi_dataset.ReadAsArray()

        r = msi_array[:][:][0]
        g = msi_array[:][:][1]
        b = msi_array[:][:][2]
        nir = msi_array[:][:][3]

        row = msi_dataset.RasterYSize
        col = msi_dataset.RasterXSize

the following I am not sure:
        msi_dataset.WriteRaster(0, 0, col, row, r, col, row,
Numeric.Float16, [0])
        msi_dataset.WriteRaster(0, 0, col, row, g, col, row,
Numeric.Float16, [1])
        msi_dataset.WriteRaster(0, 0, col, row, b, col, row,
Numeric.Float16, [2])
        msi_dataset.WriteRaster(0, 0, col, row, nir, col, row,
Numeric.Float16, [3])

Thanks,
Shawn Gong

Untested, and as usual take with a grain of salt.
I think this is what is happening

The member function .ReadAsArray() returns an
array.  As far as I can tell the function WriteRaster() takes a string as the forth
argument and does not understand Numeric Types.
The function .BandWriteArray() in gdalnumeric.py takes
care of both these problems.
