Class: GeoTIFF

Defined in: geotiff.ts:68

A high-level GeoTIFF abstraction built on @cogeotiff/core's Tiff and TiffImage classes.

This class separates data IFDs from mask IFDs, pairs them by resolution level, and exposes sorted overviews. Intentionally mirrors the Python async-geotiff API as closely as possible.

Construct via GeoTIFF.fromUrl, GeoTIFF.fromArrayBuffer, GeoTIFF.open or GeoTIFF.fromTiff.

See

Overview for reduced-resolution overview images.

Properties

cachedTags

readonly cachedTags: CachedTags

Defined in: geotiff.ts:81

Cached TIFF tags that are pre-fetched when opening the GeoTIFF.

---

dataSource

readonly dataSource: Pick<Source, "fetch">

Defined in: geotiff.ts:89

The data source used for fetching tile data.

This is typically the raw source (e.g. HTTP or memory) rather than a layered source with caching and chunking, to avoid unnecessary copying of tile data through cache layers.

---

gdalMetadata

readonly gdalMetadata: GDALMetadata | null

Defined in: geotiff.ts:104

Parsed GDALMetadata tag, if present.

---

gkd

readonly gkd: GeoKeyDirectory

Defined in: geotiff.ts:101

The GeoKeyDirectory of the primary IFD.

---

image

readonly image: TiffImage

Defined in: geotiff.ts:95

The primary (full-resolution) TiffImage.

---

maskImage

readonly maskImage: TiffImage | null

Defined in: geotiff.ts:98

The mask IFD of the full-resolution GeoTIFF, if any.

---

overviews

readonly overviews: Overview[]

Defined in: geotiff.ts:75

Reduced-resolution overview levels, sorted finest-to-coarsest.

Does not include the full-resolution image — use fetchTile on the GeoTIFF instance itself for that.

---

tiff

readonly tiff: Tiff

Defined in: geotiff.ts:92

The underlying Tiff instance.

Methods

fetchTile()

fetchTile(x, y, options?): Promise<Tile>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:491

Fetch a single tile from the full-resolution image.

Parameters

x

number

The tile column index (0-based).

y

number

The tile row index (0-based).

options?

Optional parameters for fetching the tile.

boundless?

boolean

Whether to clip tiles that are partially outside the image bounds. When true, no clipping is applied and edge tiles are returned at the full nominal tile size. Defaults to true.

pool?

DecoderPool

An optional DecoderPool for decoding the tile data. If not provided, a new decoder will be created for each tile.

signal?

AbortSignal

An optional AbortSignal to cancel the fetch request.

Returns

Promise<Tile>

---

fetchTiles()

fetchTiles(xy, options?): Promise<Tile[]>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:515

Fetch multiple tiles in parallel.

A future implementation may coalesce contiguous byte ranges to reduce the number of HTTP requests.

Parameters

xy

[number, number][]

Array of [x, y] tile coordinates.

options?

Optional parameters (same as fetchTile).

boundless?

boolean

pool?

DecoderPool

signal?

AbortSignal

Returns

Promise<Tile[]>

Array of Tile objects in the same order as xy.

See

fetchTile for single-tile fetching.

---

index()

index(x, y, op?): [number, number]

Defined in: geotiff.ts:537

Get the (row, col) pixel index containing the geographic coordinate (x, y).

Parameters

x

number

x coordinate in the CRS.

y

number

y coordinate in the CRS.

op?

(n) => number

Rounding function applied to fractional pixel indices. Defaults to Math.floor.

Returns

[number, number]

[row, col] pixel indices.

---

xy()

xy(row, col, offset?): [number, number]

Defined in: geotiff.ts:553

Get the geographic (x, y) coordinate of the pixel at (row, col).

Parameters

row

number

Pixel row.

col

number

Pixel column.

offset?

"center" | "ul" | "ur" | "ll" | "lr"

Which part of the pixel to return. Defaults to "center".

Returns

[number, number]

[x, y] in the CRS.

---

fromArrayBuffer()

static fromArrayBuffer(input): Promise<GeoTIFF>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:282

Create a GeoTIFF from an ArrayBuffer containing the entire file.

This is a convenience method that wraps the ArrayBuffer in a memory source and calls GeoTIFF.open. For large files, consider using GeoTIFF.fromUrl or GeoTIFF.open with a chunked HTTP source to avoid loading the entire file into memory at once.

Parameters

input

ArrayBuffer

The ArrayBuffer containing the GeoTIFF file data.

Returns

Promise<GeoTIFF>

A Promise that resolves to a GeoTIFF instance.

---

fromTiff()

static fromTiff(tiff, dataSource, options?): Promise<GeoTIFF>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:186

Create a GeoTIFF from an already-initialised Tiff instance.

All IFDs are walked; mask IFDs are matched to data IFDs by matching (width, height). Overviews are sorted from finest to coarsest resolution.

Parameters

tiff

Tiff

dataSource

Pick<Source, "fetch">

A source for fetching tile data. This is separate from the source used to construct the TIFF to allow for separate caching implementations.

options?

debug?

boolean

When true, the returned GeoTIFF logs each tile/mask data fetch to the console.

signal?

AbortSignal

An optional AbortSignal to cancel header tag reads.

Returns

Promise<GeoTIFF>

---

fromUrl()

static fromUrl(url, options?): Promise<GeoTIFF>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:303

Create a new GeoTIFF from a URL.

Wraps the HTTP source with a fixed-size block-aligned LRU cache tuned for TIFF metadata. cogeotiff's lazy per-entry reads (for tile offsets, byte counts, and other tag values) are served by the block cache; adjacent entries within a single block hit one underlying request. Tile data reads bypass the cache and go straight to the raw HTTP source.

Parameters

url

string | URL

The URL of the GeoTIFF to open.

options?

GeoTIFFFromUrlOptions = {}

Optional parameters; see GeoTIFFFromUrlOptions.

Returns

Promise<GeoTIFF>

A Promise that resolves to a GeoTIFF instance.

---

open()

static open(options): Promise<GeoTIFF>

Defined in: geotiff.ts:149

Open a GeoTIFF from a @cogeotiff/core Source.

This creates and initialises the underlying Tiff, then classifies IFDs.

Parameters

options

dataSource

Pick<Source, "fetch">

A source for fetching tile data. This is separate from the source used to construct the TIFF to allow for separate caching implementations.

debug?

boolean

When true, the returned GeoTIFF logs each tile/mask data fetch to the console. Off by default.

headerSource

Source

The source used to construct the TIFF. This is typically a layered source with caching and chunking, to optimise access to TIFF tags and IFDs. Callers who want to control the initial read size should compose a SourceChunk of the desired block size; cogeotiff's default defaultReadSize (16 KiB) gets padded up by the chunking layer anyway.

signal?

AbortSignal

An optional AbortSignal to cancel the header reads.

Returns

Promise<GeoTIFF>
