Re: [udig-devel] Raster Support (was Some problems found ...)
|
Hi Jody
Yes I've set up GeoServer and looking through the code noticed the
formats, thought I'm still unsure of the handling of Geotiff data sets.
I've downloaded 60 examples and attempted to validated them and found
they were less than perfect!, looking through some of TK's plugins for
older versions of uDig, I found a couple for Geotiff and DXF and some
rather Anglo Saxon notes about data quality and his approach for Geotiff
and DXF, he has adopted the Eclipse problems view and an associated
preference page, where you can set levels for problems from ignore to
error, so for unknown fields, bad Tags and impossible projections, you
can arrange for uDig to ignore, translate, or if all else fails, just
display it as a tif, and a rather neat right click in the problems view
that lets you change the preference page value from the view. this
approach seems to have been run by the user groups so has had some
field exposure.
I have found some problems in the raster interface that seems to be at
the core of why uDig is not displaying these formats at the moment but
the work is incomplete I will let you know.
I did some more wandering around the UI and found a problem with
multiple editors, open up a map, right click on the tab select new
editor, it creates a new map tab of the same name but no associated map
under the project, clicking on the map gives an "internal error in
command executor" msg, if you have several tabs open, clicking in their
windows give similar error, and eventually stack overflow, do you need
this feature? If not perhaps you might want disable it because I'm sure
people at exhibitions and user groups will be finding it just as fast as
their little mice can carry them.

Hi Susan:
I'm catching up with all the events and email slowly, but given your
exhibition date I thought it worth while to jump in.
Do you know the URL for the Geotiff source?

On the subject of raster processing one of the students attached to
the project has submitted a proposal based on uDig core plugins
combined with imagej code to produce a RCP'ed version of imagej.
Imagej has a very liberal license perhaps this work may be useful.
I noticed that the people working on raster support have just made
their first release:
- http://today.java.net/pub/n/GeoServer0.2Alpha
From their announcement "The ArcGrid, GeoTIFF, Image, and GRIB formats
are supported".
