Hi,
I need to programatically create polygons (e.g. ellipse) based on input =
parameters from a text file.
I need your help regarding programming languages to use, softwares, etc.
I know Perl, IDL, C (it's been a while though), and a bit of VBA (just =
used it for macros in Excel). I mostly program with ENVI/IDL but =
apparently it can't do what I need programmatically. I also use ESRI =
ArcGIS but I've never programmed with it, although I'd be willing to =
learn if learning Mapobjects isn't too long. I can work in Windows or =
Linux environments so suggestions can be for any of these OSs.
Once I'll have my polygons, they will serve as Regions of Interests to =
extract image pixels using Starspan (freeware). Starspan accept any =
vector data recognized by the OGR Library =
(http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html) so the polygons don't need to =
be shapefiles.
Thanks for helping me start somewhere with this task.
