Re: [gdal-dev] gdal in ESRI products

But there are some formats on the list above that they are not supporting through GDAL but by their own code, GeoTiff, img, so I don't think they are supporting Bigtiff yet. Are they? There was one request started on a discussion on gdal-dev that ESRI should release a free downloadble version of their gdal_i.lib so that programmers would be able to develop driver as GDAL plugins. That is because they added some stuff on the library that makes it binary incompatible with regular GDAL plugins. They were very receptive to the request and we are waiting... What more do you want to know? Best regards, Ivan Thanks Ivan and Sophia. So ESRI is using GDAL/OGR for some raster formats, any idea about vector use? And does anyone know if ESRI has contributed code or money to GDAL? I am preparing a presentation on Open Source Geospatial software for a regional ESRI users group. (I don't use ESRI software much, but I can't make it to Cape Town and I need some continuing education credits...)

Re: [Gdal-dev] Attaching Text Files in NITF driver

I have seen that the GDALPamDataset will create the aux.xml filler with the extra data when creating the NITF file, but the information is not actually writen to the NITF file itself. I am currently using build 1.5.2 compiled on VC++ 7.1 for Windows. Is this simply not supported in the NITF driver? If it is not supported, how hard would it be to add this in to the driver? Radeus, You are correct that the NITF driver does not currently support writing text segments. It would not be particularly hard to add. That means it might take me 2-3 hours. Someone unfamiliar with the driver might require a day to get to a stable and safe result.

ESRI is currently one of my major clients, and have funded quite a few improvements and bug fixes through me for GDAL over the last three years or so. They also co-sponsored the bigtiff upgrade for libtiff. Best regards, -- I am glad to hear that you feel they have contributed back to GDAL. When I first heard that they were using GDAL I was glad, but also concerned that they were taking your (and others') years of work without compensation.

I know I should be writing this information from the GDALMultiDomainMetadata in the destructor (or at least that is what I think based on GTiff implementation) but I have not figured out how. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[gdal-dev] +1 for JPIP support
Just a note of support from the sidelines -- As longtime JP2 and JPIP fans, LizardTech and I are very much in favor of getting a JPIP driver into GDAL. While I haven't been contributing directly to the discussion, I've been following it offline and am in touch w/ NormanB as to how we might be able to help turn the RFC into working code. Keep up the good work, guys..

Zlib? Should nmake.opt be updated to include a definition to Zlib? Brent, Normally I think the internal copy of zlib (gdal/frmts/zlib) should provide that function. Is it possible you are building in an unconventional fashion or are using an external zlib of a different version? Best regards, All I did was edit nmake.opt for locations of ECW, OGDI, MrSID, HDF4, and PG libs. Hmm, there are no .obj files in the frmts\zlib dir... And the frmts\makefile.vc has: !IFDEF OGDIDIR EXTRAFLAGS = $(EXTRAFLAGS) -DFRMT_ogdi !ELSE EXTRAFLAGS = $(EXTRAFLAGS) -DFRMT_zlib !ENDIF I guess the zlib functions in my ogdi build are too old. I'll look into that... Thanks! Brent ___ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
