Change projection on tiff and export it with changed projection as raster data

dana5dana

Hello.

How can I change the projection in a tiff layer and then export it as raster layer with changed projection?

I have a tiff file and I load it with GM_LoadLayerListEx. I then extract the layer from the layerList and the layerInfo.

What I want to do is to change the projection of the layer and then export it to an image format with the changed projection. For changing the projection, I have a file tiffProjName that is loaded (.prj file)

GM_Projection_t loadedProj;
GM_Error_t32
theError = GM_LoadProjectionFile(tiffProjName, &loadedProj);
theError = GM_SetProjection(&loadedProj);

The projection is now the one I want (loadedProj)and I want to export it with the new projection as an image.

theError=GM_ExportRaster(“d:\\newProjFile.png”, GM_Export_GeoTIFF,_theTiffLayer,&_tiffLayerInfo->mGlobalRect, _tiffLayerInfo->mPixelWidth,_tiffLayerInfo->mPixelHeight,GM_ExportFlags_JPGinTIFF);

Here I have the error code 8 no data to export.

Can u please tell me what is wrong?

If this is not a solution, is there a solution to change the tiff layer projection and then export it as an image with the new projection?

Thank you,
Dana

Dana,

That looks correct, but when did you get the _tiffLayerInfo structure? If you got that before calling GM_SetProjection the mGlobalRect will still be of the old projection. You need to call GM_GetLayerInfo after calling GM_SetPRojection so that the global bounds will be updated to the new projection.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,
