[Gdal-dev] Betr: Re: How to work with Intergraph RGB files?

[Emil Zegers]

Hello Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

I found a freeware tool called PictView  (http://www.pictview.com/) to convert Intergraph RLE files (RGB, COT) and others to TIF, BMP, JPG etc.

>From there I'm using GDAL again to convert, merge etc.

I know it is a bit of topic for the GDAL list to 'promote' other software here but hopefully a nice addition for others too who bump into Intergraph raster files.

Best regards,

Emil Zegers

Email,

Sorry, but GDAL does not support the Intergraph Raster Format (often referred
to as Intergraph COT).  I do have decent docs for this, and I have implemented
a driver for some variants before when I was at PCI, but I haven't had much
call for it in recent years.

Best regards,
