<p><a class="reference external" href="http://www.gdal.org/">GDAL</a> stands for <strong>Geospatial Data Abstraction Library</strong>,
and is a veritable “Swiss army knife” of GIS data functionality. A subset
of GDAL is the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/">OGR</a> Simple Features Library, which specializes
in reading and writing vector geographic data in a variety of standard
formats.</p>
<p>GeoDjango provides a high-level Python interface for some of the
capabilities of OGR, including the reading and coordinate transformation
of vector spatial data.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Although the module is named <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gdal</span></code>, GeoDjango only supports
some of the capabilities of OGR. Thus, GDAL’s features with respect to
raster (image) data are minimally supported (read-only) at this time.</p>

<p>The GDAL/OGR tools described here are designed to help you read in
your geospatial data, in order for most of them to be useful you have
to have some data to work with. If you’re starting out and don’t yet
have any data of your own to use, GeoDjango tests contain a number of
simple data sets that you can use for testing. You can download them here:</p>

supports reading data from a variety of OGR-supported geospatial file

data source is represented by a <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource" title="django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataSource</span></code></a> object which contains
one or more layers of data. Each layer, represented by a <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.gis.gdal.Layer" title="django.contrib.gis.gdal.Layer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code></a>

information about the type of features contained in that layer (e.g.

additional fields (<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.gis.gdal.Field" title="django.contrib.gis.gdal.Field"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Field</span></code></a>) of data that may be associated with

<dd><p>The constructor for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataSource</span></code> only requires one parameter: the path of
the file you want to read. However, OGR
also supports a variety of more complex data sources, including
databases, that may be accessed by passing a special name string instead
of a path. For more information, see the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html">OGR Vector Formats</a>
documentation. The <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource.name" title="django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource.name"><code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></code></a> property of a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataSource</span></code>
instance gives the OGR name of the underlying data source that it is
using.</p>
<p>The optional <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">encoding</span></code> parameter allows you to
specify a non-standard encoding of the strings in the source. This is
typically useful when you obtain <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DjangoUnicodeDecodeError</span></code> exceptions
while reading field values.</p>
<p>Once you’ve created your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataSource</span></code>, you can find out how many

You never create a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code> object directly. Instead, you retrieve
them from a <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource" title="django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataSource</span></code></a> object, which is essentially a standard
Python container of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code> objects. For example, you can access a
specific layer by its index (e.g. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ds[0]</span></code> to access the first
layer), or you can iterate over all the layers in the container in a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for</span></code> loop. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Layer</span></code> itself acts as a container for geometric
features.</p>
<p>Typically, all the features in a given layer have the same geometry type.
