[gdal-dev] Re: Flashy colors in a pyramid

[Christian Müller]

Hi, Christian speaking, I wrote the gdal_retile.py utility. 

Could you try to run a gdal_merge.py on the highest pyramid level containing 
this strange area. What is the result.?  I want to know if the problem is 
gdal_retile.py or geoserver.
