[Geotiff] User defined datum: Transformation parameters

[noel khan]

Christian,

    DISCLAIMER: My perpective if the only the GeoTiff spec. I am not
familiar with the library you are using, which contains the call
"GTIFKeySet."


    Please refer to the GeoTif specsection 2.4. 


    From my understanding, GeoTiff keys can either 

    [1] store a single SHORT value within the KeyEntry 

xor 

    [2] store values in a TIFF-tag, which means that both [a] the
TiffTagLocation must be set to a nonzero value and [b] the Value_Offset must
be set to the location of the TIFF-tag containing your value(s).


Therefore, it appears that your implementation should involve: 

[1] Storing your array of doubles within a TIFF tag that can accomodate
those values. NOTE: Upon storage, I presume you necessarily know the base-0
position of that array within the TIFF file (hereinafter
"*ptrToTiffTagContainingDoubleValues"). 

[2] Set your GeoTiff KeyEntry {KeyID, TiffTagLocation, Count,Value_Offset} =
{<CustomTransformationKeyID>, 34736, 7,
*ptrToTiffTagContainingDoubleValues}.

NOTE: The spec has that "all key-values that are not of type SHORT are to be
stored in one of the following two tags, based on their format: ..."
GeoDoubleParamsTag (34736) or GeoAsciiParamsTag (34737).

Finally, regarding "Is it correct that multiple doubles have to be passed as
an array" -- this is my understanding. 

Best Regards,
Noel
