Gdal.grid

gdal.grid is the part of GDAL, used to read Grid data.

We test and support (options for) the following formats:

A grid Domain unit that is left unbound and read from a gdal.grid storage adopts the source file’s native block/strip tiling, so large tiled or striped GeoTiffs are read efficiently without retiling (GeoDMS 20.1+). The detected native block size is exposed through the read-only StorageTileSizeX / StorageTileSizeY properties. See GeoDMS Default Tiling.

A georeference with rotation terms, in the file or in its world file, is read with its rotation. Since GeoDMS 20.23.1 that rotation is applied in the right orientation. Before, gdal.grid transposed every rotated georeference, so a rotated grid got the wrong world coordinates. Writing such a grid is refused, see Projection.
