Hi Everybody,

I am trying to display HDF files using MapServer, and upto some extent
i have done it. Still i am facing problem with the projection of map.

and MapFile Layer looks like this:

                LAYER
		NAME wise_io
		#DATA 'o.tif'
		DATA 'HDF5:"C:/ms4w/apps/HDFData/data/output.h5"://Mapped_-_Composited_mapped'
		DUMP TRUE
 		TYPE RASTER
		STATUS ON
		CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
		CLASS
			EXPRESSION ([pixel] > 0)
			STYLE
				COLOR 0 0 255
			END
		END
		PROJECTION
                                      {{{{       ................    }}}}
		END
	END

and GDAL INFO for used HDF data is :

.......................

I have created the GeoTiff using gdal_translate and projected it and
it works well.
>> gdal_translate -ot Byte -of GTiff -b 1 -a_ullr 62 4 95 27 HDF5:"output.h5"://Mapped_-_Composited_mapped o.tif.

I am facing problem with projection of HDF data set which is 1 KM
gridded dataset. and as without defining Projection Derivative it is
showing somewhere else in the map.  can anyone help me in this regard
to define Projection section of HDF data layer.

with regards
Venkat
