[gdal-dev] Problem with rotated satellite images

[Mort Canty]

Hi everyone,

I've started using the Python GDAL package to convert raster images in
ENVI format to GeoTIFF, ERDAS Imagine, PCI Geomatics and other formats.
My imagery is UTM,  WGS-84 and path-oriented, i.e., rotated away from
north-up. I find that, after conversion with GDAL, the rotation is
always lost and the images are incorrectly oriented north-up. I'm using
the CreateCopy method in Python to do the conversion, e.g.,

imgDataset = driver.CreateCopy(img.name, enviDataset)

Can anyone help?

Sorry if this is a known issue. I'm new here and haven't figured out how
to search the archive.

Thanks,

Mort
