Export maps

New "export color map" function to allow exporting e.g. Depth of Coverage maps to GeoTIFF, JPG, PNG, KML, KMZ.

The result is exported in a graphic file in Plate Carree projection, with transparent background to allow easy overlay on different mapping engines.

To export the color map just go to menu Tools /Export depth of coverage ...

You will be requested to provide a file destination name, file format and map coordinates for a Plate Carree output. You may also modify the Image size in pixels.

The result will be provided in the designated file with the desired format, with a transparent background when possible (png, kml, kmz, geotiff output)

For GeoTiff files, the color scale will be coded in the GeoTiff header custom parameters section. The following parameters are provided:

• Map name
• Autoscale (true or false)
• Start Time
• End Time
• Cyclical (true or false, for revisit maps)
• Map type, (one of the following options)
  • depth of coverage ( DoC of swaths)
  • depth of coverage regions
  • depth of coverage antennas
  • density (density of swath coverage over the selected regions, in relation to the target coverages)
  • hits (statistics of hits of swaths over each selected region, in relation to the target coverages)
  • revisit (average, maximum, minimum, standard
  • latency
  • delivery
  • sun zenith angle
  • azimuth
• Map subtype (when applicable, one of the following options)
  • average
  • maximum
  • minimum
  • standard deviation
• Scale parameters
  • legend
  • scale_min
  • scale_max
  • steps
  • scale type (one of the following options)
    • colored
    • gray
    • custom
  • hue_min (only for colored scale)
  • hue_max (only for colored scale)
  • discrete (true or false)
