I'm running ERMapper 5.5 on IRIX  (we've also 6.2 on NT, but i prefer to
stay in unix environment).

problem-  i want to generate a tiff of my data, a very large
mosaic/algorithm.  I have, for example, 38 .ers files mosaic'ed in a
single algorithm.  The data--1m resolution DEMs along the Texas
coast--are all total about 180km long and 1km wide.  Unfortunately, the
data fall across the page in a roughly 30 degree angle, and thus 90% of
my layout is actually NODATA.
(the diagram below sorta depicts this;  the rectangle represents the
data extents/page size, and the  interior  "-" and " / " represent the
data.

what i'd like to do is somehow rotate the data within an algorithm so
that when i open the algorithm, my coastline would show up at either 0
or 90 degrees so that i could  save the algorithm out as a relatively
small .tif file.    As is  (above), a moderate-resolution tif file, with
all this empty space, would be far too large to work with.

note-  i'm generating my algorithms with AWK;  so if you know the
algorithm syntax for doing such a thing (rotation) but don't know if it
can be done in older versions of ERMapper, please e-mail me a sample
algorithm and i can write a program to generate the kind of algorithm
i'll need.

thanks much,
john
