gdalbuildvrt

Build Virtual Datasets from a list of existing datasets.

• Make a virtual mosaic from all TIFF files contained in a directory:

gdalbuildvrt {path/to/output.vrt} {path/to/input_directory/*.tif}

• Make a virtual mosaic from files whose name is specified in a text file:

gdalbuildvrt -input_file_list {path/to/list.txt} {path/to/output.vrt}

• Make an RGB virtual mosaic from 3 single-band input files:

gdalbuildvrt -separate {path/to/rgb.vrt} {path/to/red.tif} {path/to/green.tif} {path/to/blue.tif}

• Make a virtual mosaic with blue background colour (RGB: 0 0 255):

gdalbuildvrt -hidenodata -vrtnodata "{0 0 255}" {path/to/output.vrt} {path/to/input_directory/*.tif}
