Here are some answers.

1.   No.  Just Render->WriteImage instead of Image, for example
2.   Yes, the general array importer can be used.  Here's an example for
the W100N40.DEM file
     file = W100N40.DEM
     grid = 6001 x 4801
     format = msb ieee
     interleaving = record
     majority = row
     field = height
     structure = scalar
     type = short
     dependency = connections
     positions = regular, regular, 40., -0.00833333333333, -100.,
0.00833333333333
     end
3.   Reprojection should be done via coordinate warping.  It is generic to any 
geo-located data, not just
     imagery.  A discussion of the approach and examples are available at
     http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/proceedings/cart/index.htm.  The tools to 
do what is discussed at
     that site are available at:
     http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/html/bonuspak222.html
     http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/html/bonuspak245.html
     http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/html/bonuspak273.html
     http://www.research.ibm.com/dx/bonuspak/html/bonuspak283.html
4.   In general, use Tube or Ribbon after Isosurface.  You may wish to
Remove(,normals) afterwards.  If you are
     using OpenGL rendering, then Options(,"line width", n), where n is the
number of pixels thick.

Also, I do a bit of work with weather data and DX.  Some of the
applications are not unlike what are outlined on your company's web site.

Subject:  [opendx-users] Reproject images



I've just started to explore DX and have some questions.
I want to use DX to visualize meteorological data.


1. Does DX have to send an image to a screen in order
to export an image to a file when executing a script?

2. Is it straightforward to import gtopo30 DEM data
into DX?

3. Could someone tell me if there are modules/macros
that imports an image (with known dependencies)
and reprojects it to some new projection? I would like
to display an image overlayed by isolines of some field.

4. How do I control the line thickness from isosurface?


Thanks in advance,
Paul Skeie
