Hello,
I'm using Mapserver to output PNG 16-bits DEM raster from .HGT elevation
data.
I'm using the below output format definition :
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME PNG16
DRIVER GDAL/PNG
MIMETYPE image/png
IMAGEMODE INT16
EXTENSION "png"
END
However I keep on getting the standard PNG 8-bits out of mapserver.
The strange thing being that when I use a similar config to get GeoTiff
16-bits, I do get what I'm asking for :
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME GEOTIFF16
DRIVER GDAL/GTiff
MIMETYPE image/tiff
IMAGEMODE INT16
EXTENSION "tiff"
END
Could that be an issue with the GDAL/PNG driver ? It seems that the
GDAL/PNG driver supports only CreateCopy() and not Create(), where the
GDAL/GTiff driver supports both ... Could that be it ? I suspect the
GDAL/PNG driver so I also sent my issue to the GDAL mailing list.
I can see from the mailing list that other users already had a similar
issue, but there is no obvious reason or solution provided.

For information, I'm using GDAL v2.1.3 and Mapserver v7.0.1
Thanks,
