Hi Sebastian,
Simply open a connection (in r+ mode) and closing it appears to work. See below.
import rasterio
from rasterio.crs import CRS
from affine import Affine
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
arr = np.random.randint(1, 255, size=(200,200,3), dtype=np.uint8)
img = Image.fromarray(arr)
img.save('/tmp/test.png')
rasterio.open('/tmp/test.png', 'r+',
driver='PNG', width=200, height=200,
count=3, crs=CRS.from_epsg(4326),
transform=Affine.identity(), dtype=np.uint8).close()
Kind regards,
Loïc

Subject: [rasterio] Question: exporting / writing auxiliary data without writing image data
Hi everyone,
while saving a geo-referenced image to disk (using a standard file format like png), rasterio creates not only a file "output.png", but also a file "output.png.aux.xml" containing the corresponding geo-information.
Is it possible to create the "output.png.aux.xml" file without the creation of "output.png"?
Motivation: I hope to speed up the computation, since I already have the png images, but I'm interested in the (missing) aux.xml files (or any other file format that would allow me to show the images in QGIS with the correct geo-location).
Best regards,
Sebastian
