Idrisi32 Compatibility Notes
The utilities posted at this web site were designed for use with Idrisi
for Windows 2.0 (V2). I have no intention at this time of updating them
for Idrisi32. However, since the source code is published for all
utilities, users are welcome to create their own updates.
Under certain conditions, many of the utilities may be used with
Idrisi32 files. These are documented below.
The following utilities may be used with Idrisi32 images, provided that
the ".rst" extension is changed to ".img" and the ".rdc" extension is changed
to ".doc":
- IDR2GRID
- ArcView Idrisi Image Extension
- WORLD
Note, however, that the RGB8 and RGB24 data formats are not supported.
If data type "RGB8" is altered in the documentation file to "byte" then
the image will be supported; for use in the the ArcView Idrisi Image
Extension you will want to copy COMPOSIT.SMP to match the image name.
The following utilities produce V2 Idrisi files. You may use the
Idrisi conversion tools to convert them to Idrisi32 format:
- DRG tools: REDOC, REDOCW, and FRAME
- GRID2IDR
In all cases, long file names may not be supported. The IdrApp class is
not at all compatible with Idrisi32.
