I see. We sometimes apply compression to some large data sets to avoid excessive disk I/O (which was the main bottleneck in some cases). Of course, the decision depends on the data and geoserver's hardware. Cheers, Matthias Am 15.11.2011 08:33, schrieb Andrea Aime: 2011/11/14 Matthias Müller

This gdal command mosaics all SRTM-Tiles into on bi geotiff. This is what I use for SRTM-Display. Performance is good (equla to using tiles), and you don't need to care about managing all the tiles on your server: gdal_merge -of GTiff -co TILED=YES -co COMPRESS=LZW -co BIGTIFF=YES -ot Int16

Andrea, A tiff with elevations normally needs to be colored with an external color map. I see. is it possible to have a 'linear grayscale' color coding, that is, provide the same level/value of 'greyness' as reflected in the GeoTIFF image? the samples I saw in the documentation you sent

Hi Akos, gdaladdo doesn't generate any extra files - it just stores the pyramids in the original tiff file. if you issue the command for the first time you will notice an increased file size. cheers, matthias Am 14.11.2011 14:35, schrieb Ákos Maróy: Matthias, This gdal command mosaics all
