Re: [Gimp-user] Does GIMP support GEOTIFF files?

2007-08-27 Thread Maverick Merritt
Hello,

Actually, that would be the problem.  The gimp does load up the image, 
giving warnings about the tags it does not understand, and when one saves 
the image these tags are lost.  I have used the Gimp for various (fairly 
simple) image processing as a user, but I have not looked at the code or 
creating a plug-in, which I might look into doing (but, unfortunately, may 
be a bit limited on time) .  Documentation and a geotiff library can be 
found here, btw: http://remotesensing.org/geotiff/geotiff.html

Sincerely,

Maverick Merritt

 The answer to both questions is no. It is unlikely that the file format 
would 
 be supported in GIMP unless there is a publically available document 
which 
 describes the file format. If there is such a document, it just takes an 

 interested party to create a plug-in for the format.

It has been almost ten years since I worked with GEOTIFF files, but IIRC
they are just TIFF files with a couple extra tags telling you where the
image is geospatially located.  That should mean that GIMP can open a
GEOTIFF fine, but there are no guarantees that it can keep the tags if you
then save it.  Note, I haven't checked this in a long long time, but it 
did
work then.

Jeff

If the GeoTIFF format is just TIFF with some specialized tags, it should be 
just a case of enhancing the existing TIFF load/save routines instead of 
adding a new plug-in.

When the TIFF loader is reading a GeoTIFF file, the tags could be converted in 
to image parasites. When the file is re-saved, the parasites could be 
converted back to tags as the file is

The possibility of doing this will depend in part in how easy/hard it is to 
recognize a GeoTIFF file vs. an ordinary TIFF file.

Might not be a Gimp problem. Could be a problem with KDE or GNOME

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4.0rc1 Sample Points tab - what is it?

2007-08-27 Thread buralex
The Sample Points tab was (I believe) added somewhere in the 2.3.x 
journey to 2.4.
When added as a tab all options appear to grayed out.
I tried googling and also in my snapshot of the documentation for 2.4 
(as at 2007-08-1) without success.

Am I correct that this has not yet been implemented or am I not doing 
something that would turn it on.
More importantly - what is its purpose? (any reference cite I can look at)

Regards ... Alec -- buralex-gmail
