OpenEV2 news

Hi folks,

Yes, there are still news about OpenEV2 :)

I am happy to report that OpenEV2 (and even OpenEV1) will work with
GDAL's ng-python, with only minor changes to the code. I still need to
test with the just released GDAL 1.6.0 and if all goes well, there
will be a major wave of commits next weekend in preparation for a
package release.

cheers

Hi Mario,

Do you think it will be possible to allow OpenEV2 to use the GDAL
GeoRaster driver? I can make OpenEV load a GeoRaster object through the
help of a VRT file. Like that:

% gdal_translate -of VRT geor:usr/pwd@db,rdt,1 view.vrt
% openev view.vrt

But if I enter the connection string i.e. "geor:usr/pwd@db,rdt,1" on the
FileSelectionBox or in the command line it complain that that "file"
does not exist.

% openev "geor:usr/pwd@db,rdt,1"

Let me know what you think about it and if there is something that I can
do to help.

Best regards,

Ivan

I'm afraid I don't know enough about the GeoRaster driver (if at all!)
to give you an answer. Let me investigate and I will get back to you.

BTW, does this mean that you actually are using OpenEV2? If so, your
experience would be valuable...

cheers

No, and yes. I mean, I am a developer and OpenEV is very useful for me
when I need to just check the results of my code. I develop the
GeoRaster by the way.

The GeoRaster driver is intended to connect to a Oracle DBMS server to
load and extract raster images through GDAL API and command line tools [1].

A GeoRaster dataset is identified by a connection string that resembles
a little bit how OGR make connections to DBMS.

Best regards,

Ivan

I see. I must admit that CIETmap uses almost exclusively the GeoTiff
driver so I didn't spend a lot of time checking to see if every GDAL
supported formats work in OpenEV. This is something I hope the
community will do once a working OpenEV2 is available ;)

Also, still being on dialup, access to data in various formats is difficult...

Not having access to that kind of resource, it is difficult for me to
test anything. Do you think you could provide that? And it would have
to be a (very) small image ;)

Also, my knowledge of DBMS is close to nil... so bear with me!

Hi Mario,

In fact you don't need particular knowledge of the GeoRaster driver or DBMS.

I think Ivan's point was that currently OpenEV requires in its open dialog box
that the string that the user enters is a filename relative to the current
working directory, whereas GDALOpen and OGROpen can accept arbitrary strings.
Most drivers will interpret those strings as filenames, but others will have
their own parsing of the string to open the right connexion to the database.

For example, "openev
http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/small_world.tif" works on the
command line (it is recognized by the GDAL HTTP driver), but if you enter
http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/small_world.tif in the open dialog
box, you get "ERROR: Unable to
open /home/even/http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/small_world.tif"

So the opening sequence could be :
- try opening "current_path/name_entered_in_the_entry_box"
- if it fails, try opening "name_entered_in_the_entry_box"

Best regards.

He also mentioned the same thing was happening from the command line
so I guess it rules out a GTK problem. The only idea I got is: does
this work if you do this in a Python shell:

ds = gdal.Open("geor:usr/pwd@db,rdt,1")

if you have a ds and no error, there is hope OpenEV2 will be able to
do that... but I will spare you the details ;)

Unfortunately, I found new problems with the GDAL ng-python
integration so this will delay things a bit :(

cheers

Hi there,

I am sorry that I haven't provided any feedback on the Georaster issue but we have been hit pretty hard by a ice
storm here in the NE-USA last Friday and I am still out of power.

Best regards,

Ivan
