GeoTiff Support

Question

Does the sdk have any support for creating geotiffs (or any other georeferenced raster formats) in code? I'm planning on displaying the geotiff using code from the Raster and Shapefile example, so the raster format must be supported by that code.

I know this is an old post, but i am trying to do this myself.  However, no matter what I do, the geotiff is not loading properly into a GIS app (ArcGIS Pro).  I know the modeltiepoint values are being written to the file, as i am able to read them back in with System.Drawing.Imaging.PropertyItem.

Do you have any sample code that shows exactly what you did with the tiePoints (as you mention in your pseudo-code)?  Also, do you need to set a projection anywhere?

I have seen and used the info here: http://geotiff.maptools.org/spec/geotiff2.6.html , but still no luck.

//Populate the modelTilePoint array
// modelTilePoint[0] = someValue;
//...

Thanks for the tip on XP. I missed that.

That looks like an excellent solution! I would think that method will be faster and less setup than initiating/running a GP task. Only downside seems to be that it isn't supported on XP according to:
