<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m relatively new to GDAL and have a question about some confusing behavior when reading BAG files using C++. I’ll put more details below but the TLDR is that while working with an older version of GDAL included with Ubuntu 16.04 I was
able to read a file correctly but when working with the same file on Centos 8 the x and y pixel lengths are reported as zero. I don’t know if it’s a problem with the data set being made for an old version of GDAL, or if something else has changed that I haven’t
accounted for. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The file in question is <a href="https://data.ngdc.noaa.gov/platforms/ocean/nos/coast/H12001-H14000/H12280/BAG/H12280_MB_1m_MLLW_Combined.bag.gz" target="_blank">
H12280_MB_1m_MLLW_Combined.bag.gz</a> at <a href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nos/H12001-H14000/H12280.html">Report for H12280 (noaa.gov)</a> and I’m following the “getting-dataset-information” part of the Raster API tutorial at gdal.org (<a href="https://gdal.org/tutorials/raster_api_tut.html#getting-dataset-information">Raster
API tutorial — GDAL documentation</a>) for C++. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In particular the Pixel Size is 0 by 0 when it should be 20 by -20. There are some other differences, like the fact that the UTM zone doesn’t seem to show up in the output of the newer version, but I don’t quite know what to make of it.
Any advice would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
