Hi
Ed
You are right. I didnot set any georeference information set
or project information in the .tif file. I simply took one image and trying to display it along with other layers. Also i need to integrate the image with other layer. Can you please tell me how to set the georeference/projection information in my .tif file.
Thanks in advance.

<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> Ed</DIV>
<DIV> I changed the status from On to
Default but still its not working. One thing i want to tell you that if i delete
the .tfw file the output of gdalinfo also changed which like this---></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> #gdalinfo test.tif ### Without test.tfw file
######</DIV>
<DIV>Driver: Gtiff/GeoTiff</DIV>
<DIV>Size is 1042, 722</DIV>
<DIV>Co-ordinate System is `'</DIV>
<DIV>METADATA</DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV>----------</DIV>
<DIV>Upper Left (0.0, 0.0)</DIV>
<DIV>Lower left (0.0, 722.0)</DIV>
<DIV>Upper right (1042.0, 0.0)</DIV>
<DIV>center(521.0, 361.0)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Band 1 Block=1024*64 TYPE=BYTE, ColorInterp=RED</DIV>
<DIV>..........................................................................=Green</DIV>
<DIV>......................................................................=BLUE</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then what will be my values in my .tfw file? Now if i put the values in my
.tfw file then the output of my gdalinfo also changed according to the values
that i put there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Where is the problem? Whether i need to put Projection statement in my
mapfile?</DIV>
<DIV>Please help me </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV>

<DIV> Hi</DIV>
<DIV> I am trying to include a .tif file for raster
background. For that i have to write a .tfw(world file) for the corresponding
.tif file. The information that i need to put in the world file are X, Y Pixel
size, rotational co-efficient and X, Y location of the center of the top left
pixel. I am trying to find these values by using gdalinfo-- but some values
are 0.0</DIV>
<DIV>in their corresponding field.</DIV>
<DIV> Can anyone plz help me, how to get/set these values for the
world file so that i can</DIV>
<DIV>keep my raster data georeferenced with other layers in my mapfile.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV>
