I wonder if IDL's XML routines could be used to accomplish this.
Unfortunately I haven't used the XML routines beyond the most
rudimentary.
Has anybody here worked much with the various XML routines ?

Ok, thanks! That's a fairly basic slice of what I am trying to do,
it's only a ground overlay. But it's something!

So, i've begun this and intend to continue as i need it. I am working
on implementing Features and polygons as a first shot. My goal is to
take a spatial time series and be able to display it in google earth,
simply stripping the data from an array or structure and putting it
into the various objects along with the needed kml information. In the
end, it should be way faster than writing kml since all the tags will
be generated.

If anyone is interested in these routines, post here and I'd be happy
to share them. Once some of the basic ones (like Feature) are
implimented I can see the rest of the elements being added as people
need them and write them in to this developing framework of code
(which is still slowly coming into focus)

cheers,

J

Mike Galloy has some user functions written for sending data from ENVI
into Google Earth via KML files. You might be able to take the
portion of his code that deals with writing KML files and use that as
a starting point.

Hi James,

I'm interested, as are a some of my colleagues, and would appreciate
seeing what your routines can do.

Cheers,

Andrew (et al)
