Re: UML Geotiff

Thanks Don,
           I agree that a java geotiff isn't too hard to implement.
Niles Ritter web page www.geotiff.org is the page with the java geotiff jai
files, including a .net version. Dr. Ritter is the guy who wrote the geotiff
spec, and the original c code I believe.

  I have found the jai-geotiff very easy to use and it displays a geotiff
very easily. Getting this into openmap is easy too, using the tiff code
samples in the JAI you can get the tiff image into buffered image and hence
into an OMRaster. (Thanks to Steve McDonald of GeoVirgil fame for this
help).

  My questions were mainly related to openmap and how to utilise the
underlying EPSG libraries from geotiff into OpenMap and the like. I would
really like to see how to render the geotiff in its correct projection etc.
A minor problem is that most geotiffs store their location in UTM form, so
you have to use UTMPoint. I would like to develop this geotiff function for
OpenMap and would appreciate any help.

  Finally I recompiled the J3D for Openmap into a new jar file, how do you
actually use the the Pilot package?

Thanks everyone, the new release of OpenMap is great, utilising SVG is
fantastic for me since the Ordnance Survey in England have released an XSL
file for GML that converts it into SVG!!
