I am working with large images in Python and Gdal on a Windows machine and wondering if it is possible to directly access the specific smaller overviews I built into them using gdladdo. I am viewing them in python using Tkinter window. I thought I could keep the size down by accessing the smaller overviews first and then I could focus in by displaying a zoomed in region focused in a small rectangle of interest at successive zooms using higher resolution overviews.??
I modified Even Rouault file: http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/samples/gdalinfo.py in eclipse - PyDev to print out details on the type of file I am dealing with.
I can't seem to find a Python version of dumpoverviews utility that they discuss in some of the online discussions.
Is there a better way that I am not seeing?? Thanks Charlie Cole Retired PNNL geoscientist (2002) working on a groundwater modeling GUI, something I could never get funding to work on at PNNL..
