NAME

       gdalmove - Transform georeferencing of raster file in place.

SYNOPSIS

          gdalmove.py [--help] [--help-general]
                      [-s_srs <srs_defn>] -t_srs <srs_defn>
                      [-et <max_pixel_err>] <target_file>

DESCRIPTION

       The  gdalmove.py script transforms the bounds of a raster file from one coordinate system to another, and
       then updates the coordinate system and geotransform of the file. This  is  done  without  altering  pixel
       values  at all. It is loosely similar to using gdalwarp to transform an image but avoiding the resampling
       step in order to avoid image  damage.  It  is  generally  only  suitable  for  transformations  that  are
       effectively linear in the area of the file.

       If  no error threshold value (-et) is provided then the file is not actually updated, but the errors that
       would be incurred are reported. If -et is provided then the file is only modify  if  the  apparent  error
       being introduced is less than the indicate threshold (in pixels).

       Currently  the  transformed  geotransform  is  computed  based on the transformation of the top left, top
       right, and bottom left corners. A reduced overall error could be produced using a least squares fit of at
       least all four corner points.

       --help Show this help message and exit

       --help-general
              Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit.

       -s_srs <srs_defn>
              Override the coordinate system of the  file  with  the  indicated  coordinate  system  definition.
              Optional. If not provided the source coordinate system is read from the source file.

       -t_srs <srs_defn>
              Defines  the target coordinate system. This coordinate system will be written to the file after an
              update.

       -et <max_pixel_err>
              The error threshold (in pixels) beyond which the file will not be updated.   If  not  provided  no
              update will be applied to the file, but errors will be reported.

       <target_file>
          The file to be operated on. To update this must be a file format that supports in place updates of the
          geotransform and SRS.
