PAux -- PCI .aux Labelled Raw Format

Driver short name

PAux

Driver built-in by default

This driver is built-in by default

GDAL includes a partial implementation of the PCI .aux labelled raw raster file for read, write and creation. To open a PCI labelled file, select the raw data file itself. The .aux file (which must have a common base name) will be checked for automatically.

The format type for creating new files is PAux. All PCI data types (8U, 16U, 16S, and 32R) are supported. Currently georeferencing, projections, and other metadata is ignored.

Creation Options:

  • INTERLEAVE=[PIXEL​/​LINE​/​BAND]: Defaults to BAND. Establish output interleaving. Starting with GDAL 3.5, when copying from a source dataset with multiple bands which advertises a INTERLEAVE metadata item, if the INTERLEAVE creation option is not specified, the source dataset INTERLEAVE will be automatically taken into account.

NOTE: Implemented as pauxdataset.cpp.
