[Gdal-dev] Flashy colors in a pyramid

[acangi]

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply and thanks for writing gdal_retile. I use it a lot and
it works great. 

I'm not sure I understand you well. On the highest level of the pyramid (the
top) there's only one file. Gdal_retile already created the files needed for
the mosaic (shp, shx, dbf and prj). Would you like me to re-create them ? 

Or do you mean at the base of the pyramid ?
