[McIDAS #BJT-176673]: Question about displaying the Satellite Image On McIDAS-X



Hi,

re:

> satellite image.

I never sent you the IMGOLAY command that would do the image combination.
What did you use to combine the visible satellite and effective radius
images?

re:
> The enhancement used was CLW2.ET IMAGE which I used the
> *EU REST CLW2 command after I did all those steps.

OK.  Please provide me with the listing of this enhancement.
What I would like is the output of:

EU LIST CLW2

re:
> So my questions are
>

What was your MAP invocation?

By default, MAP does not draw county outlines.  I sent you an example of
a MAP invocation that would display the MS (Mississippi), AL (Alabama)
and GA (Georgia) in a previous email.

re:
> 2) Why is the satellite image and effective radius image are not being
>    overlayed with the preset effective radius on the research 9 image?

See above; I do not know what you used to combine the images, so I cannot
comment on what you are or are not seeing.

re:

Please ask your professor or, better yet, departmental computer system
administrator how you can make the images I have requested available by
FTP.

Interesting.  I don't see a question here...

re:

See above.

Cheers,
