Karl's IPW experience

DEM in albers into IPW

The result is an image with four headers. The upper left corner is referred to as line 0, sample 0.

1) converted SierraBB-500m.tif to ASCII using ArcGIS Conversion Tools > From Raster > Raster to ASCII

2) stripped header with Wordpad

3) text2ipw -l 1450 -s 876 -b 1 -n 16 snbb500m.txt > dem.ipw

4) mkgeoh -c albers -u meters -o 389271.181648,-218640.76643 -d -500,500 dem.ipw > dem.geo.ipw

1) converted SierraBB-500m_wgs84 ASCII using ArcGIS Conversion Tools > From Raster > Raster to ASCII

2) stripped header with Textpad

3) replaced -9999 (no data) with 0 so that lq header would only go from dem min to max
