[gdal-dev] gdal_translate custom binary image format

[Scott Arko]

Hi David,


I have done a similar thing in the past by using the ENVI format driver.
 The ENVI format is just raw binary with a very simple text header file.
 You can easily create the header and then gdal will read your data.

You can find information on ENVI headers at
http://geol.hu/data/online_help/ENVI_Header_Format.html

Not all fields are required, so you only need to define the bare basics for
your data set. The vrt path is probably the more rigorous solution, but
this might be easier.

Thanks,
Scott
