You know how to set the georeference information for your TIF file (by creating
the TFW file). But you don't know what numbers to use.
I cannot tell you the geographic parameters of your image - you need to find
that out. If you need to integrate it with other data layers, you need to know
the extents and resolution of the raster image; if it is not the same
projection as your other layers, then you need to know the details of the
projection, too. If the raster image is not georeferenced you need to (a) go
back to the source of the image and get that information, or (b) locate several
known coordinate points on the image and calculate the image parameters (a
tedious and not-very-accurate process in most cases).

Hi
Ed
You are right. I didnot set any georeference information set or project
information in the .tif file. I simply took one image and trying to display it
along with other layers. Also i need to integrate the image with other layer.
Can you please tell me how to set the georeference/projection information in my
.tif file.
Thanks in advance.

<DIV>Then what will be my values in my .tfw file? Now if i put the values in my
.tfw file then the output of my gdalinfo also changed according to the values
that i put there.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Where is the problem? Whether i need

<DIV> Hi</DIV>
<DIV> I am trying to include a .tif file for raster
background. For that i have to write a .tfw(world file) for the corresponding
.tif file. The information that i need to put in the world file are X, Y Pixel
size, rotational co-efficient and X, Y location of the center of the top left
pixel. I am trying to find these values by using gdalinfo-- but some values
are 0.0</DIV>
<DIV>in their corresponding field.</DIV>
<DIV> Can anyone plz help me, how to get/set these values for the
world file so that i can</DIV>
<DIV>keep my raster data georeferenced with other layers in my mapfile.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV>
