[gdal-dev] Do any of the utilities (gdalwarp, gdal_translate) allow for assigment of ColorInterp?

[Ethan Alpert]

Thank you! Looks like Option 2 for me.

Yep

1) Remove the test at line 706 of gdalbuildvrt.cpp:
pasBandProperties[j].colorInterpretation !=
GDALGetRasterColorInterpretation(hRasterBand) ||


2) Or for each some.dt2, creates a some.dt2.aux.xml file with following
content:

<PAMDataset>
  <PAMRasterBand band="1">
    <ColorInterp>Gray</ColorInterp>
  </PAMRasterBand>
</PAMDataset>

which will override the default color interpretation

3) Or modify the DTED driver to report gray
