The documentation for GDALDataset::GetGeoTransform says some things that are rather confusing.




Fetches the coefficients for transforming between pixel/line (P,L) raster space, and projection coordinates (Xp,Yp) space.



Xp = padfTransform[0] + PpadfTransform[1] + LpadfTransform[2];



Yp = padfTransform[3] + PpadfTransform[4] + LpadfTransform[5];



In a north up image, padfTransform1 is the pixel width, and padfTransform[5] is the pixel height.



The upper left corner of the upper left pixel is at position (padfTransform[0],padfTransform[3]).



The default transform is (0,1,0,0,0,1) and should be returned even when a CE_Failure error is returned, such as for formats that don't support transformation to projection coordinates.




If this is a matrix, it makes sense that Pixel_X is at 1,1 and Pixel_Y is at 2,2.



Here is my question:



So should the equation for Yp be:



Yp = padfTransform[3] + L*padfTransform[4] + P*padfTransform[5];


in which the positions of L and P are swapped?



Or if I am confused about something, can someone help me get unconfused?
