 Karl,

There are a number of image formats supported in gdal that are not
directly supported in WinGrass.  I was never able to import MrSid for
example.  There is software on the internet that will allow you to
convert the ECW into a geotiff such as FWTools
(http://fwtools.maptools.org/).

Hope this helps.

Subject: [winGRASS] error on import of ECW/ERMapper Compressed Wavelets

I have been trying to import a file of the format described below using
the

r.in.gdal in WinGrass6.0

r.in.gdal input=/home/ks80/data/Orthophotos/Colignan_NAT_20X.ecw
output=Col title=Col ERROR 4:
`/home/ks80/data/Orthophotos/Colignan_NAT_20X.ecw' not recognised as a
supported file format.

I always get the above message 'not recognized as a supported file
format'.

According to the documentation the format should be supported

Would anyone be able to help me??

Cheers

Karl
