Robert,

The files were originally PNG files that I converted per the instructions on
the wiki to the .tif format. Whether or not that makes them GeoTiffs I don't
know. How can I convert the files to GeoTiffs?

Hi Shayne,

The wiki instructions was written in the very early days of the
development of osgdem, and is awaiting a rewrite.  Today I wouldn't
recommend using --xx definition of the coordinate system, you are
better off using geospatial imagery/dems.  Are you files GeoTiff's?
If so then dispense with the --xx command lines and just use:

osgdem -t n39_texture.tif -d n39_height_.tif -l 4 -o myterrain/myterrain.ive

The coordinates will sourced entirely from the .tif files, there will
also be no need to tangle with the -v vertical scaling command line
parameter.  The VPB version of osgdem also will created nested
directories for you hence the myterrain/ directory above.  Also
temporarily archive support has been removed.

Robert.
