Why don't you post the listgeo output, so we can see what it
thinks the map projection is suppose to be.

David, I followed your examples but still have problems. In the uv
space my corners IDL and ENVI aggred
UpperLeftCoordinate:(-167346.0185E, 3677892.5566N)
LowerRightCoordinate:(1222128.8184E,2983386.7945N)
However in the lon/lat space i got:
IDL: UpperLeftCoordinate: (-98.555279E, 45.411655N)
LowerRightCoordinate: ( -81.568627E,51.346972N)
ENVI: UpperLeftCoordinate: (-98.09914722E, 33.30501389N)
LowerRightCoordinate:(-84.82142500E, 27.55810278N)
My image has 3000 col x 1500 lin. The pix resolution is 463.3127
meters.

mercatorMap = MAP_PROJ_INIT('Mercator', $
DATUM=8, $ ; WGS84
CENTER_LATITUDE=20.000, $
CENTER_LONGITUDE=-96.5000)

I tried different things but in all cases idl and envi did not match,
and I do not have any clue where is my error.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Well, after thinking about this overnight, I think by
some miraculous twist of fate, both of these articles
ARE right. I'm convinced of it. At least for the time
being. :-)

Cheers,

Humm, well, OK, here is an article that spells it out:

http://www.dfanning.com/map_tips/pixel_to_ll.html

Be aware, however, that there is an error either in this
article, or in the previous one. But the two articles
can't *both* be right. ;-)

Here is my problem, perhaps someone can help. Do the
corner values printed out by a program like GeoTiff dump
program like listgeo list the values in the *center* of
the corner pixels in the image, or values on the *edge*
of the image?

If the former, then the new article is correct and the
old article is incorrect. If the latter, then five days
of struggling with this leaves me no further ahead then
I was before. :-(

Have I mentioned that I *hate* map projections?

Cheers,

David

Hi David, today I was following http://www.dfanning.com/map_tips/tiffoverlay.html
ALL day. Probably I missed something. Let s se what happen tomorrow.

I have a feeling you haven't been reading my web page lately. :-)

The last two articles will explain how this can be done
quite easily.

I get an image resolution of 2999 x 1499 when I take
the corner coordinates, subtract them, and divide
by the pixel resolution. The fact that ENVI and IDL
agree is a good thing, but in all of the GeoTIFF
files I've been working, with doing this arithmetic
gives me the image size exactly. So, that concerns
me.

Unless you are using the *completely* wrong map projection
(how did you determine what this is?), then it looks to me
like you didn't convert the corners you thought you were
converting.

But I would like to see the listgeo output to know
what I am dealing with here.

Cheers,

David
