[gdal-dev] Using GDAL WMS with USGS 3DEPElevationIndex

[Carl Godkin]

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I managed to come up with something sort of like that by using
gdal_translate to a WMS service description file and then using that.

But I don't see how to get elevations from there.  Have you figured that
out?  I know how to get imagery, but I'm interested in elevation values.

Thanks a lot,
carl
