Has any one written a general AreaFile.getData()
routine which gets a lat,lon sector out of a mcidas area file?
There is a method to get a rectangular piece from the file
(getData(line1,ele1,line2,ele2..)
but I would like to get a lat/lon chip.

Thinking about it some more, I would actually like a method in
AreaAdapter.getData(sector)

The standard AreaAdapter.getData()  returns the whole image (up to
400Megabytes)
I would like to get just a piece of the area file:
sector = AreaAdapter.getData(line1,element1,line2,element2)    or better
yet

sector = AreaAdapter.getData(latitude1,longitude1,latitude2,longitude2)

I can see a way to do that with AreaFile.getData(l1,l2,l3,l4) but how
would one convert that
into a SingleBandedImage with all the associated navigation information?

(I know that the adde server does these kinds of things, but I have
access to area files 
with out the server in between.)

Thanks for any suggestions
