Hi all
Alas I found a group that share my interests. It feels like I've been a long
time under way.
I found you through TifLib. I've been looking for useful information about how
to access data in geoTiff, and there it was.
I have a general interest in 'visualisation'. That would mean anything from
doing small drawing programs to 'fast and furious' 3d-graphics showing
georeferenced data. I am an amateur programmer, with emphasis on amateur and in
the low Visual Basic (VB) league as such .. that doesn't prevent me from having
a good time or creating something usefull. I started doing VB 20 years ago in
the MS Office Excel attachment and is currently using a free version of Visual
Studio 2010. The net.framework that spans the gab between coding-languages
makes it difficult to take the final jump and become a 'real' programmer (in C#
or C++).
I'm well educated, in part as a ceramican, in part as a sedimentary geologist -
and very unimployed. Don't acuse me for abusing an easy-to-use educational
system 'cos I would not be able to defend myself. I succeeded in getting some
'fast and furious' graphics up and running a good year ago. It was a new and
encouraging experience to get hold of USGS DEM-data and achually watch it in
the program. Getting the higher resolution of the public aster-data has become
a natural target, but getting to watch fast and furious DEM in the first place
sort'a overextended my abilities. Getting to understand Tiff/geoTiff and how to
approach it programmatically has become a priority.
... so, I'll be lurking to see if I can get a gist of where how and what
Kindly

ps. I have a net-provider account that runs for short periods at a time, so I
may abrubtly vanish from discussions from time to time.
