Re: [Geoserver-devel] Dem and Sattalitte Image support in Geoserver

[simone g. <sim...@gm...>]

Hi,
sorry for answering with such a delay but I got back on monday from Norway=
=20
where I spent one month in live demo where we used GeoServer pretty=20
successfully. Alessio is on vacation this week and apparently he forgot tha=
t=20
he is supposed to be the referrer for the WCS and therefore he was supposed=
=20
to send out an email to warn everybody out of his absence. Anyway, I will b=
e=20
around and if anybody has questions or whatever I will be glad to answer.
Back to the topic.

WCS support geotiff even though as I said in a previous email we are=20
focusing now in supporting BIG geotiff since at the beginning there was no=
=20
time for fancy code on this issue. Just use the format for taggef imade wit=
h=20
georefencing. If you ran into problem let me know. If you have suggestions=
=20
ar complains let me know as well.


WCS support reading and writing gtopo30 quads. A gtopo30 quad is a set of 8=
=20
files from USGS which contains between the others a DEM file (16 bits=20
integers elevation values). If you meant that as DEM (that is a gtopo30=20
file) we support it, if you meant a simple .DEM as it is, file we don't at=
=20
the moment but if we get enough requests for that we will provide support=
=20
for it since it should be not very difficult to achieve.

I hope I cleared out some of your doubts, anyway write again whenever you=
=20
feel like and I will try to help you out.

Simone.
