I have also posted this on http://gis.stackexchange.com/ but had no joy so thought I'd try my luck here!
I have a single band image which I would like to copy to a 3 bands of a new image and set the ColorInterpretation to red, green and blue respectively. I have tried two approaches, one using the GTiff driver, explained below, and the other using the VRT driver. My code is; ############################################## from osgeo import gdal import os IM = "path/to/image.tif" # single band image ### read image ### ds = gdal.Open(IM) X = ds.RasterXSize Y = ds.RasterYSize band = ds.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray() ### write to 3 bands ### driver = gdal.GetDriverByName("GTiff") outPath = os.path.join(os.path.split(IM)[0], "test_image.tif") outIM = driver.Create(outPath, X, Y, 3, gdal.GDT_Int16) for i in range(1, 4): outIM.GetRasterBand(i).SetRasterColorInterpretation(2 + i) outIM.GetRasterBand(i).WriteArray(band) print outIM.GetRasterBand(i).GetRasterColorInterpretation() outIM = None ############################################## The output is: 1 0 0 I have also tried using the SetColorInterpretation(). My question is, how do I set the ColorInterpretation metatag using the GTiff driver? -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/SetColorInterpretation-for-a-GeoTiff-using-GDAL-not-working-tp5091839.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
