Hello:
I stopped by the #gdal channel on IRC to ask this question. Thank you
for the help provided there. I thought it might be better if I asked
a question here so I can better explain what's going on in one spot
and not flood the channel.
I understand this is a pixel center vs pixel edge issue.
My ultimate goal is to get from a netCDF file to a google map overlay
contour.
The general steps I've taken, which work all the way up to about
178.29 then it just cuts off.
netCDF -> color-relief PNG using "gdaldem color-relief ... "
PNG -> Geocoded PNG using "gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:4326 -outsize
4096 4096 -a_ullr -180.25 90.25 180.25 -90.25" on the PNG (Have also
tried this with just "-180 90 180 -90"
PNG -> tiles using "gdal2tiles.py -s EPSG:4326 -z 0 -n -w google" on
the Geocoded PNG
I guess first question, is my methodology sound? Maybe there's a
better way/tool to approach the problem.
Following is the output from gdalinfo, other than that, what
information might I be able to provide that could help?
Thank you,
Jerl
gdalinfo for the source netcdf: (My apologies, I'm not certain what is
relevant so I'm including most everything.)
