A new option of gdal_translate, -expand rgb|rgba, enables the user to ask for the expansion of a single band dataset with a color table and its translation to a 3 or 4 band dataset with the R,G,B,A components. Usefull for output drivers such as JPEG, JPEG2000, MrSID, ECW that don't support color indexed datasets. That capability relies on an extension of the VRTComplexSource that adds an extra optionnal attribute <ColorTableComponent>num_of_the_component</ColorTableComponent>. You can use color table expansion to warp color indexed datasets with resampling methods more sophisticated than simple nearest neighbour, without an intermediate file that would have been produced by pct2rgb for example. For example : gdal_translate -of VRT -expand rgb color_indexed.tif color_expanded.vrt gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:32631 color_expanded.vrt color_expanded_warped.tif Regards. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
