Can anyone tell me why the option 'STATISTICS=YES' works when using
gdal_translate to translate from TIF to HFA (Erdas Imagine), but
will NOT work when using gdal_merge to stack multiple TIFs into HFA?
I need ArcMap to read the statistics, but it doesnt seem that they
are being written to the file. I find this strange because ArcMap
can identify the Stats when an HFA image is created with
gdal_translate.<br>
<br>
I am using GDAL version 1.7.3<br>
<br>
Here is an example of the code I am using:<br>
<br>
gdal_merge -o "output.img" -of HFA -co STATISTICS=YES -co
FORCETOPESTRING=YES -separate -v "image1.tif" "image2.tif"
"image3.tif"<br>
<br>
gdal_translate -of HFA -co STATISTICS=YES -co FORCETOPESTRING=YES
"image1.tif" "image1.img"<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advise.<br>
<br>
