OpenJUMP
TIF-Support

Hi,

I have played with quite a nice software that I had tried never before, OSSIM (www.ossim.org). As a by-product here is a table about what kind of TIFF files OpenJUMP can open at present.

Ossim tiff writer driver result with JUMP native result with PIROL raster
OSSIM tiff_strip OK OK
OSSIM tiff_strip_band_separate fail fail
OSSIM tiff_tiled fail1 fail1
OSSIM tiff_tiled_band_separate fail fail
Gdal, pixel intl. OK OK
Gdal, pixel intl. +backbits OK OK
Gdal, pixel intl. +jpeg fail fail
Gdal, pixel intl. +tiled fail2 fail2
Gdal, band interleaved fail fail

1 Image shows, but from the right side every other tile is black
2 Image shows, but bottom-right tile is black

In conclusion, only pixel interleaved tiff files seem to be usable with OpenJUMP. They may be backbits compressed. Tiled images are almost usable, but there is something strange with those because part of the rightmost tiles do not show with either JUMP native or PIROL raster plugin. Maybe it is caused by JAI?

Regards,

Jukka
