"""
 This module houses ctypes interfaces for GDAL objects.  The following GDAL
 objects are supported:

 CoordTransform: Used for coordinate transformations from one spatial
  reference system to another.

 Driver: Wraps an OGR data source driver.
  
 DataSource: Wrapper for the OGR data source object, supports
  OGR-supported data sources.

 Envelope: A ctypes structure for bounding boxes (GDAL library
  not required).

 OGRGeometry: Object for accessing OGR Geometry functionality.

 OGRGeomType: A class for representing the different OGR Geometry
  types (GDAL library not required).

 SpatialReference: Represents OSR Spatial Reference objects.

 The GDAL library will be imported from the system path using the default  
 library name for the current OS. The default library path may be overridden
 by setting `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH` in your settings with the path to the GDAL C 
 library on your system.  

 GDAL links to a large number of external libraries that consume RAM when 
 loaded.  Thus, it may desirable to disable GDAL on systems with limited
 RAM resources -- this may be accomplished by setting `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH`
 to a non-existant file location (e.g., `GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH='/null/path'`; 
 setting to None/False/'' will not work as a string must be given).
