     2  This module houses ctypes interfaces for GDAL objects.  The following GDAL
       
     3  objects are supported:
       
     4 
       
     5  CoordTransform: Used for coordinate transformations from one spatial
       
     6   reference system to another.
       
     7 
       
     8  Driver: Wraps an OGR data source driver.
       
     9   
       
    10  DataSource: Wrapper for the OGR data source object, supports
       
    11   OGR-supported data sources.
       
    12 
       
    13  Envelope: A ctypes structure for bounding boxes (GDAL library
       
    14   not required).
       
    15 
       
    16  OGRGeometry: Object for accessing OGR Geometry functionality.
       
    17 
       
    18  OGRGeomType: A class for representing the different OGR Geometry
       
    19   types (GDAL library not required).
       
    20 
       
    21  SpatialReference: Represents OSR Spatial Reference objects.
       
    22 
       
    23  The GDAL library will be imported from the system path using the default  
       
    24  library name for the current OS. The default library path may be overridden
       
    25  by setting `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH` in your settings with the path to the GDAL C 
       
    26  library on your system.  
       
    27 
       
    28  GDAL links to a large number of external libraries that consume RAM when 
       
    29  loaded.  Thus, it may desirable to disable GDAL on systems with limited
       
    30  RAM resources -- this may be accomplished by setting `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH`
       
    31  to a non-existant file location (e.g., `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH='/null/path'`; 
       
    32  setting to None/False/'' will not work as a string must be given).
