AW: AW: [gdal-dev] gdalwarp and GTiff creation option NBITS

2010-06-28 Thread Fischer, Andreas
Hi Frank,
I'm sorry for my missing response yet. Nevertheless thank you for your helpful 
explanation!

But since it seems that there is no way getting gdal converted tif-files with 
creation option NBITS=1 properly displayed in MapInfo Professional, it might 
make sense looking for another shell program. This could work in-a-pipe and 
should convert a paletted gdal output file into a 1bit file without color table 
just IrfanView does. 

Do you know a free software tool that will fit my needs? Or is there another 
way to think about? If the behavior of MapInfo Professional isn't default I 
could contact Pitney Bowes for sure as well. But I wouldn't rather wait for a 
solution from there ...

Thanks so far,
Best regards
Andreas

Andreas,

The most obvious difference between these is that the GDAL
generated file has a color table while IrfanView does not save
one with it's 1 bit output file.  It would appear that some software
packages do not properly support paletted one bit files.

Unfortunately, because GDAL sees the min-is-white
input file as paletted it produces a paletted output file.  I
cannot think of an easy way of avoiding this.

[gdal-dev] GDAL WMS Driver - Image Size

2010-06-28 Thread Travis Kirstine
I am doing some testing of the WMS driver with gdal and have a
question.  If I define the SizeX and SizeY parameters as 2000px I
would expect that the WMS request would request a image width and
height of 2000.  When I checked the log files GDAL is requesting a
976x976 image and then rescaling the returned image.

Re: [gdal-dev] Geotiff AREA_OR_POINT

2010-06-28 Thread Michael Sumner
 Am I correct in interpreting this post to mean that the pixel-is-area and 
 pixel-is-point tiffs are read the exact same way by GDAL, with the only 
 difference being in the value of the AREA_OR_POINT metadata key? Should 
 viewers then be looking for the AREA_OR_POINT key in addition to the 
 georeferencing information, and shift the display to center the top-left 
 pixel on (0,0) if it's set to Point?

That's my understanding, it's just a metadata tag there for use if you
need it. I would say that viewers should only modify their behaviour
from Area if they have the distinction for centre point vs. cell based
views.

I've seen it used to set  centre-based TIN-like renderings, vs.
cell-based image renderings - but there's nothing in the GDAL raster
storage model that prevents you taking on either interpretation AFAIK,
though the default is cell-based.

(There can be a problem interpreting more flexible array formats like
NetCDF, that can store irregularly spaced coordinate vectors for, say,
the centres of cells on the X axis - and there's rarely any metadata
(in the file) to say explicitly that it's centre- not corner-based.  )

Cheers, Mike.

netCDF grids created by GMT have always (~20 years) made that

Thanks for the heads up, I've not used GMT versions of NetCDF much, or
recently. The vast majority of NetCDF I've had to work with do not
make this explicit, and this is about the most detailed discussion
I've seen:

RE: [gdal-dev] Modify an image color table?

Well elevation, particularly bathymetry, is an obvious application for
colourmaps for negative data. 

Marco, I deal with colourmaps with negative values using the LUT vrt

this to 3 band RGB.

 Hi,
 I'm a new gdal user and I've a little problem.
 
 I have to modify the color to an ASCII raster.
 
 1_ I converted the raster using gdalbuildvrt;
 2_ I modified the file *.vrt adding:
 ColorInterpPalette/ColorInterp
  ColorTable
 Entry c1=255 c2=255 c3=255 c4=255/
 Entry c1=0 c2=0 c3=150 c4=255/
 Entry c1=0 c2=0 c3=150 c4=255/
 ...
  /ColorTable
 3_ I know: The entries are ordered and will be assumed to start from 
 color table entry 0
 4_ But I have some negative value on the ASCII raster, the range is
from 
 -31 to 65.
 5_ How I can resolve this problem?

Marco,

Generally speaking GDAL color maps do not have an obvious application
to negative or non-integer data.  You could use the raster attribute
table
mechanism to represent color assignments to negative values, but since
so
few applications make use of this data object it is nearly useless to do
so.

What application do you want the color table to work in?  How you handle
the situation will depend on the output application.   If preserving the
original pixel values isn't important you may want to reprocess/rescale
your
raster.

[gdal-dev] csharp dll hell

2010-06-28 Thread Neema Rezaee
We have a legacy app that is using the csharp binaries. I tried to build the 
csharp bins using the visual studio 2008 command prompt. Everything works fine 
on the box that the bins were built on or any box that has visual studio (2009) 
installed but once it goes on a non-dev box, I start getting error on 
OSgeo.ogr.ogr.registerall(), can't find entry point.

I made sure the redistro package for VS is installed and dependency walker 
doesn't give me much except that it says MSVCR90.dll cannot be found but if I 
scroll down the list I see MSVCR90.dll show next msvcp90.dll.

I am building gdal 1.7.2 and using swigwin 1.3.31

John,

I am afraid that GDAL/OGR, and OGDI do not have any
support for writing VPF.  I'm not aware of any open
source solution for writing VPF though something
might exist.
