GSDView (Geo-Spatial Data Viewer) Open Edition is a lightweight viewer for geo-spatial data and products. It is written in python and Qt and it is mainly intended to be a graphical front-end for the GDAL__ library and tools. GSDView is modular and has a simple plug-in architecture.

- an *open source* version named `GSDView Open Edition`_ that is freely
available (GPL2) and provides only very basic features
- a GSDView Pro Edition that is non free and provides a larger number
of features (including image analysis tools and integration components
for external image processing tools)
