Command Line Utilities

RSGISLib comes with a number of command line utilities. To get more information on a command and usage use -h or –help.

Note, when using Microsoft Windows any tool with the file extension .py will have the extention .bat. For example, rsgiscalcimgstats.py will be rsgiscalcimgstats.bat The options and manner of use should remain the same.
