I am working at integrating IDV into the Army IMETS system. It's working fine now but I have a couple questions that you may be able to help me with. First, we build a system via an automated install foundation. We are using the InstallAnywhere version of IDV and were wondering if you could provide a version with a silent install. Or if you might know of a way for us to make the current one silent, could you help?
We use the free version of InstallAnywhere at this point and it does not allow to build a silent install. Is it possible to install to one machine and then tar up the directory and set up a shell script that would just untar it?
We also have a desire to display CADRG image files (maps). I don't see that capability on the list of features. Any plans to support this image type?
I think you asked about this at the workshop. Do you have a sample file? From a Google search, it seems like some sort of GeoTIFF file and we are in the process of supporting GeoTIFFs. So supporting CADRG files might just be a fallout of that work.
Last, we would like to read a raw GRIB file. I remember a mention that this feature was coming soon, any news on that end?
At this point, it's still on our TODO list. Over the next couple of months, we are working on our priorities list. We lost one developer, so we are shorthanded at the moment. However, someone else in Unidata is working on GRIB and GRIB2 java components and we hope to use those for the IDV work. Part of it is based on the JGrib package. How are your GRIB files organized? (i.e., one variable, all times per file or all variables per one timestep per file, or ....) A Capt Richard Gonzales who was at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) did some work a while back on reading GRIB into the IDV. He's now at Offutt (I think) and was also interested in the IDV for Air Force use. His initial work was on the Airborne Laser system (ABL). Sorry I can't be more definitive on these issues.
