<div>Hi guys,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>any further ideas for this topic?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>l am really overwhelmed by it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>since I have a amount of small GIF+TAB files, if I really need to create worldfiles for all the GIFs, it will be a huge project and seems not be possible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks a lot for any idea I can try.</div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've checked using "mapserv -v" and the GIF is supported.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>but it's strange that I can not performed "gdalinfo --formats" or "gdal-congif --formats" to check if the GIF format is supported. I am using the precomplied MS4W on WinXP. Does this mean that my gdal utility is not really working? but I still can use some commands such as "gdalinfo" and "gdal_translate".

<div>Hi guys,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I get some info again from the "Raster Dat Access" document, and it indicates that:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>****</div>
<div>GIF: If GD is configured with GIF (OUTPUT=GIF) support, then MapServer will also be able to read GIF files for raster layers. The only way to georeference GIF files is with a world file.
<p>If GD is not configured with GIF support, it may still be available in GDAL</p>
<p>****</p>
<p>Is it true that GIF raster images can only be georeferenced with a worldfiles? TAB files are not supported?</p></div>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I've found a way to do that, like this:</p>
<p>c:\.....rasterdata>dir /b /s tem\*.gif > index.txt<br>c:\.....rasterdata>gdaltindex index.shp --optfile index.txt</p>
<p>and this works well.</p>
<p>but georeferencing information in the TAB file can not be found by the command, an error message is something like:</p>
<p>>>>no georeferencing info is available, gdaltindex performance will be skipped.</p>
<p>actually there is georeferencing info in the TAB file, for each small gif image there is a corresponding TAB, e.g.:<br>***<br>!table<br>!version 300<br>!charset WindowsLatin1</p>
<p>Definition Table<br> File "m_1_1_1000.gif"<br> Type "RASTER"<br> (5.290517,48.2308475) (1392,987) Label "Pt 1",<br> (5.25001439194036,48.25) (0,0) Label "Pt 2",<br> (5.25001439194036
,48.211695) (0,1974) Label "Pt 3",<br> (5.33101960805964,48.25) (2784,0) Label "Pt 4",<br> (5.33101960805964,48.211695) (2784,1974) Label "Pt 5"<br> CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 104<br> Units "degree"
<br>***</p>
<p>why can it not be read by gdal?</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p></div>
