WriteProduct - where to find allowed formatName

kedziorm · July 8, 2016, 1:10pm

I wrote following part of code, to save my results to a file:

OutputType = [“.dim”,“BEAM-DIMAP”]

from snappy import ProductIO
ProductIO.writeProduct(sub_product, newFile, OutputType[1])

However, I use “BEAM-DIMAP” only because I found it within the snappy examples (I am not aware of the advantages of this format).

I can’t find list of allowed output formats within the documentation (which I believe is in http://step.esa.int/docs/v2.0/apidoc/engine/org/esa/snap/core/dataio/ProductIO.html#writeProduct-org.esa.snap.core.datamodel.Product-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-

Could you tell me:

What are the allowed output formats?
Do I need to save intermediate results to a file or can I redirect output from one operation to another? For example - can I subset one product and without saving apply calibration to obtain sigma0?

Good point. We have it on the agenda to make it easier access this information.
For now you can use a python script to print the formats.

@marpet Great work, thanks to your script, I know that:

Allowed formats to write: GeoTIFF-BigTIFF,HDF5,Snaphu,BEAM-DIMAP,GeoTIFF+XML,PolSARPro,NetCDF-CF,NetCDF-BEAM,ENVI,JP2,Generic Binary BSQ,Gamma,CSV,NetCDF4-CF,GeoTIFF,NetCDF4-BEAM

However, there are no default extensions listed with formats, for example:

OutputType = [“.dim”, “BEAM-DIMAP”]

Is it possible to obtain them as well?

Hi,
I have slightly adapted the script to also output the extensions.

what is the difference between NetCDF4-BEAM and NetCDF4-CF?

marpet · July 7, 2022, 6:35am

In NetCDF4-BEAM additional metadata is stored. Like for BEAM-DIMAP. This allows to store SNAP specific information and its reconstruction when loading in SNAP again. For example, for virtual bands the expression is stored and not the calculated data.
If you want to use your data in other software you better go with NetCDF4-CF. If you stay in SNAP NetCDF4-BEAM is better.

Got it! Thank you very much!
