<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to create a heightfield from an
ArcInfo grid. So far, I have successfully converted an elevation grid
to a 16 bit grayscale PNG using gdal_translate. I can see the difference
in brightness correleates to height, but I'm stuck here. I'm thinking I'll
need to create a pallette and lookup table so there are 65,536 possible
values. That should give me plenty of room to account for -5000 to +5000
meters or some other range that covers the min/max elevation in meters for any
given point. Just looking for some tips or examples. </FONT></DIV>
