Core abstractions for OxiGDAL - a Pure Rust GDAL reimplementation with zero-copy buffers and cloud-native support for modern geospatial computing.

## Features

- **Pure Rust** - No C/Fortran dependencies, builds anywhere Rust runs
- **Zero-copy buffers** - Efficient memory management with optional Apache Arrow integration
- **Cloud-native** - Designed for S3, GCS, Azure Blob, and other cloud object stores
- **No-std support** - Core types work in embedded and WASM environments
- **Type-safe** - Strongly typed pixel data types and georeferencing
- **No unwrap policy** - All fallible operations return `Result<T, E>`
- **SIMD-accelerated** - High-performance raster operations
- **Async-ready** - Optional async I/O traits for non-blocking operations

## Installation

Add to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
oxigdal-core = "0.1.0"
```

### Feature Flags

- `std` (default) - Enable standard library support
- `alloc` - Enable allocation support without full std (for no-std environments)
- `arrow` - Enable Apache Arrow integration for zero-copy interoperability
- `async` - Enable async I/O traits

Example with arrow support:

```toml
[dependencies]
oxigdal-core = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["arrow"] }
```

## Quick Start

```rust
use oxigdal_core::types::{BoundingBox, GeoTransform, RasterDataType};
use oxigdal_core::buffer::RasterBuffer;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a bounding box for global extent
    let bbox = BoundingBox::new(-180.0, -90.0, 180.0, 90.0)?;

    // Create a geotransform for a 1-degree resolution grid
    let geo_transform = GeoTransform::from_bounds(&bbox, 360, 180)?;

    // Create a typed raster buffer
    let buffer = RasterBuffer::zeros(360, 180, RasterDataType::Float32);

    println!("Created {}x{} raster with bounds: {:?}",
             buffer.width(), buffer.height(), bbox);

    Ok(())
}
```

## Core Types

### Spatial Types

- **`BoundingBox`** - 2D spatial extent with intersection, union, and buffering operations
- **`BoundingBox3D`** - 3D spatial extent with elevation
- **`GeoTransform`** - Affine transformation for converting pixel coordinates to geographic coordinates
- **`PixelExtent`** - Raster extent in pixel space

### Raster Types

- **`RasterDataType`** - Pixel data types (UInt8, UInt16, Int16, Float32, Float64, etc.)
- **`RasterBuffer`** - Typed buffer for raster data with zero-copy operations
- **`RasterMetadata`** - Complete raster metadata (dimensions, CRS, bands, etc.)
- **`RasterStatistics`** - Min, max, mean, stddev for raster analysis
- **`NoDataValue`** - Type-safe representation of missing/invalid data
- **`ColorInterpretation`** - Band meaning (Gray, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha, etc.)
- **`PixelLayout`** - Memory organization (Interleaved, Band-sequential, etc.)

### Vector Types

- **`GeometryType`** - Point, LineString, Polygon, and Multi-geometry types

## Usage

### Working with Bounding Boxes

```rust
use oxigdal_core::types::BoundingBox;

// Create a bounding box
let bbox1 = BoundingBox::new(-10.0, -10.0, 10.0, 10.0)?;
let bbox2 = BoundingBox::new(0.0, 0.0, 20.0, 20.0)?;

// Intersection
let intersection = bbox1.intersection(&bbox2)?;
println!("Intersection: {:?}", intersection);

// Union
let union_bbox = bbox1.union(&bbox2);
println!("Union: {:?}", union_bbox);

// Buffer by 5 units
let buffered = bbox1.buffer(5.0)?;
println!("Buffered: {:?}", buffered);
```

### Geotransform Operations

```rust
use oxigdal_core::types::GeoTransform;

// Create north-up geotransform (simple case)
let gt = GeoTransform::north_up(
    -180.0,  // origin X
    90.0,    // origin Y
    0.1,     // pixel width
    -0.1,    // pixel height (negative for north-up)
);

// Convert pixel coordinates to geographic
let (geo_x, geo_y) = gt.pixel_to_geo(100, 50);
println!("Pixel (100, 50) -> Geo ({}, {})", geo_x, geo_y);

// Convert geographic to pixel coordinates
let (px, py) = gt.geo_to_pixel(10.0, 85.0)?;
println!("Geo (10.0, 85.0) -> Pixel ({}, {})", px, py);

// Get resolution
let (x_res, y_res) = gt.resolution();
println!("Resolution: {}x{}", x_res, y_res);
```

### Raster Buffers

```rust
use oxigdal_core::buffer::RasterBuffer;
use oxigdal_core::types::RasterDataType;

// Create a buffer filled with zeros
let buffer = RasterBuffer::zeros(100, 100, RasterDataType::Float32);

// Create from existing data
let data: Vec<f32> = vec![1.0; 100 * 100];
let buffer = RasterBuffer::from_vec(100, 100, data)?;

// Access pixel value
if let Some(value) = buffer.get_pixel(50, 50) {
    println!("Value at (50, 50): {}", value);
}
```

### Raster Metadata

```rust
use oxigdal_core::types::{RasterMetadata, RasterDataType, GeoTransform};

let metadata = RasterMetadata {
    width: 1024,
    height: 768,
    band_count: 3,
    data_type: RasterDataType::UInt8,
    geo_transform: Some(GeoTransform::north_up(-180.0, 90.0, 0.35, -0.35)),
    crs_wkt: Some("EPSG:4326".to_string()),
    ..Default::default()
};

println!("Total pixels: {}", metadata.pixel_count());
println!("Bounds: {:?}", metadata.bounds());
println!("Resolution: {:?}", metadata.resolution());
```

## Error Handling

This library follows the "no unwrap" policy. All fallible operations return `Result<T, OxiGdalError>` with descriptive error messages:

```rust
use oxigdal_core::types::BoundingBox;

// Invalid bounding box (min > max)
let result = BoundingBox::new(10.0, -10.0, -10.0, 10.0);
assert!(result.is_err());
match result {
    Ok(_) => unreachable!(),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
```

## Pure Rust

This library is **100% Pure Rust** with no C/Fortran dependencies. All functionality works out of the box without external libraries or system dependencies. Perfect for:

- Cross-compilation to any platform
- WebAssembly (WASM) targets
- Embedded systems
- Reproducible builds
