[gdal-dev] Using Python-GDAL to retrieve Projection information

[Frank Warmerdam]

Kim,

You can use GetProjection() to fetch the coordinate system:

dataset = gdal.Open( input )
projection   = dataset.GetProjection()

The returned value is a string containing the WKT
description of the coordinate system.

Best regards,
