We are in the process of developing an application for
contour, DEM, Slope, Aspect, drainage, watershed generation etc in MapInfo. We
have the DLL programs callable in MapInfo. These programs are supporting the
byte binary format with separate header file (ASCII format) containing the
details of the image files such as no of rows, no of columns, data type
(integer/float etc.), maximum value, minimum value and other palette details. I
want to change the image input/output format in such a way that these raster
image file can be displayed in MapInfo. Through literature
we found that there are vast number of image formats supported by MapInfo.
Can someone help us in providing the following
information-
A) Which image format is most suitable for this kind of
application?
B) What is the way of handling the float data type in the
raster image?
C) Is there any web site where I can get the SPOT BIL format
details?
D) Can someone provide the program for reading/writing BMP
files?
I promise to made available these programs to
everyone.
