Writting a BIL in ASCII format

[Trimble, Beheen]

Frank, 

 

I can see you are all over the net helping and answering people's
questions. I really thank you for what you are doing. I wish I could be
you! Right now I am doing my master and working full time and don't have
much time to devote. I promise after I graduate (next april) I will help
you guys.

 

This is my problem/question:

 

I was surfing the web to use gdal libs to read an ESRI BIL file and
write it out in ascii format. I think the gdal_translate will do but I
am not sure which option is which! Below is the header info. If you
please fill the blank for me, if that is the way!

 

1) I am using header information to translate to ascii grid, is this
gives me an ascii file?

 

2) Not sure what to put in place of '?' below

 

gdal_translate -ot Byte -of AAIGrid -b 3 -outsize ? ? -srcwin ? ? ? ?
-projwin 510724.036 106267.487 531636.641 83405.401 -a_srs ? -a_ullr
510724.036 106267.487 531636.641 83405.401 -a_nodata -9999 -mo ? -co ?
dq0512ne.bil dq0512ne.asc

 

 

3) Give me a hint on how to associate a color file with the resulting
ascii file.

 

Thanks a lot

Beheen
