SRTM

Post by HugovZ »

Hi,

is DPlot Jr capable of reading SRTM data? I am looking for a software component (code) that can read and plot SRTM data. I also would like to draw a graph over this image. Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Regards,
Hugo

Hugo,
No, reading SRTM files is accomplished with a file import plugin, and 1) DPlot Jr won't read any files and 2) even if it did, it doesn't support plugins.

If you have a strong need for SRTM support I'll be happy to send you the source for the SRTM plugin, and you can then read the file in your own application and send the data to DPlot via the DPlot_Plot DPLOTLIB function.

Plot overlays were added several versions ago, but not yet documented or discussed much because there are still several weaknesses (in particular it doesn't work at all with 3D views). But you can overlay a 2D view of 3D data with another 2D view of any type of plot with an OverlayDocument command. An example is shown here:
