In reproject mode, Sanchez reprojects geostationary IR images into plate carrée projection. See Reprojection modes for details of the different reprojection options.

In this mode, the following additional options are available:

Autocrop

All modes support optional auto-cropping (-a / --autocrop) to crop target images to a tight rectangle. This option loses some source imagery, but maximises the total area.

The example below is without and with autocrop enabled:

No underlay

When rendering a single image with no underlay and a .png output file is specified, the image is rendered on a transparent background.

Image with transparent background

Full-colour reprojection

If you already have a full colour composite, use the -U / --nounderlay mode combined with -L / --noadjustlevels to create an image which has no colour correction or underlay applied.

The following example also preserves the original 2km spatial resolution (5424x5424px image) by using the -r 2 flag.
