data2tiff

ANSI-C program: data2tiff.c

NAME
data2tiff - data2tiff is an universal data (short, float, complex, sun raster, BMP) to geotiff converter. It's use is to convert GAMMA results into GeoTIFF, an universal GIS data exchange format.

SYNOPSIS
data2tiff <data> <width> <type> <TIFF> [nodata] [xspacing] [yspacing]
 

<data> (input) data file
<width> input data file width
<type> input data type:
0: Sun raster or BMP image
1: short data
2: float data
3: scomplex data
4: fcomplex data(input) polygon point file, format: x-coord y-coord index text
<TIFF> (output) TIFF file (.tif is the recommended extension)
[nodata] image width (overruled by dem_par width if applicable)
[xspacing] pixel spacing in x-direction (ignored if omitted)
[yspacing] pixel spacing in x-direction (ignored if omitted, default=xspacing)


EXAMPLE
data2tiff srtm3_seg.dem 1800 2 srtm3_seg.dem.tif -1

Converts the float data file srtm3_seg.dem with width 1800 into TIFF format, and sets -1 values to no data.

DESCRIPTION
data2tiff TIFF is an universal GIS data exchange format including geospatial metadata. This programs allows convert binary and image data into TIFF format. The programs depends on the geospatial abstraction library GDAL.

DIAGNOSTICS
All messages are generally self-explanatory.

SEE ALSO
data2geotiff that allows to preserve the projection information from a DEM_par file.
