Philip, Just wanted to let you know that it appears to be working. I had the two tif files that you have and the following BMNG tar which I extracted:
world.topo.200406.3x21600x21600.panels.jpg.tar The osgdem program has been generating *.ive files for 4 days now. I hope it finishes soon. These are the 500m images and there are eight of them that create the image of the entire world. I am not sure if the osgdem program is actually using these or not. Here is the command I used: osgdem --bluemarble-west -t ../land_shallow_topo_west.tiff --bluemarble-east -t ../land_shallow_topo_east.tiff--geocentric -l 12 -o earth.ive I got this command from the webpage that I downloaed the tif files from, www.andesengineering.com/BlueMarbleViewer. It also stated that the following example uses Earth as a directory and has the blue marble images in the directory above the Earth directory. Then it had the command I used above following. Since I am learning could someone tell me how much data should be generated? Or can you tell by the command.
