--- Start of Idrisi List message Greetings, I just rejoined the list after a bit of absence and noticed the questions about MODIS to IDRISI. I have managed to get Gridded MODIS Level 3 data into IDRISI32 (using the USGS' Modis Reprojection Tool GUI running under JAVASOFT JAVA v.1.3) through GEOTIFF output, but neither IDRISI32 nor ArcView reads the coordinates correctly in MRT's Geotiff flavor at this time (though ERDAS Imagine v.8.4 does). However, there is a workaround. You can output the GEOTIFF using MRT and then either because you've done a Metadata screen capture within that program or read the resample.log file or written a paramter file, you have the appropriate corner coordinates to create a documentation file to access those data correctly. For MRT see http://edc.usgs.gov/programs/sddm/modisdist/index.shtml. Don't bother to try MRT with MODIS Level 1 or 2 data because it doesn't work. However, the translate.exe program located on EOSGIS DATA TRANSLATOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT http://heineken.gsfc.nasa.gov/eosgis/eghome.html does translate gridded Level 1, 2, and 3 data to Geotiff or ArcInfo ASCII Grid files from a commandline interface with its 'translate.exe' program. Both the ASCII GRID and Geotiff flavor created by translate.exe is supported by IDRISI32, but the coordinates put out by that program are mapped to Integerized Sinusoidal (ISIN). Now, if someone would write an easy to use ISIN2GEO program to transform ISIN to Latlong, it would be just dandy! But alas I'm not a C programmer and the ISIN GSTP code is in C. Any takers?
