The GINI images that are sent in the LDM/IDD NIMAGE datastream are Zlib, not PNG compressed (although PNG is built on top of Zlib). Reasonably recent Unidata GEMPAK and McIDAS distributions (recent means since early 5.x releases), support the compressed GINI images directly. re: > My current error is a segmentation fault using 'gpmap' and setting 'satfil' > to a current > image. It almost sounds like the image(s) are corrupt, or there is something wrong with your GEMPAK build; they should work without uncompressing which means that you should not need to use the ldm-mcidas decoders. re: > Before I get you too involved, in theory should I be able to use 'gpmap' to > plot a raw > these raw images? I think so, yes. I am not 100% sure since I am not a GEMPAK user. re: > I know you don't have a lot to go on as far as helping, but I don't > want to waste your time. No worries. We should be able to get you going reasonably quickly.
