Petr, The GDAL API dos not contain visualization functions. So how to do it will dependents on the programming environment that you are working on, assuming that you are developing some kind of application. The pData pointer points to a memory array of pixels in the data type and the amount of data you requested in you call. You could just pass it to your GUI component or you could do some pixel accessing of your own if you want.
Take a look at this example in Java [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/swig/java/apps/GDALtest.java] If all you want to do is to display a small region of a raster, you could simple use gdal_translate -of {JPEG,BMP,PNG} -srcwin and open the little picture file on the desktop visualization tool that comes with the O.S. C:/> gdal_translate -of bmp bigfile.tif out.bmp -srcwin 0 0 1024 1024 C:/> out.bmp Regards, Ivan > -------Original Message------- > From: Petr Kitashov <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: [gdal-dev] Raster visualization > Sent: May 10 '12 08:48 > > Hi, > > I need just to display some region(any) from raster file.
