[Gdal-dev] Getting Single Band (grayscale) GeoTiff to pass through C# wrapper into bitmap (or othe manipulation of raster data)

[dbitner]

That was insanely easy, I feel like a total idiot...I seriously contemplated
going the 1 for 1 route, but decided that I wasn't getting the correct data
into my buffer.  I guess I wasn't fiddling with the correct datatype (which
I thought I did try to force it to float).

To get the bitmap image I did have to scale the floats to be RGB compliant
(0 to 255).  Is this a correct way to display an elevation geotiff??  Also,
are there any plans in utilizing a raster image (IE this geotiff I have) as
a DEM in OGR, specifically for C#?


This library is a lifesaver fyi...Thanks!
