Dear all,

Is there anyone that has experience in reading the Landscan data in
IDL? The LandScanTM Dataset comprises a worldwide population database
compiled on a 30" X 30" latitude/longitude grid. The LandScan Dataset
files are available in an ESRI raster binary format.

Now I have all the data, but I really don´t succeed in reading in this
dataset. The data includes also a header file with the following
information:

ncols 43200
nrows 20880
xllcorner -180
yllcorner -90
cellsize 0.00833333333333
NODATA_value -9999
byteorder LSBFIRST

and a .prj file with following contents:

Projection GEOGRAPHIC

Datum WGS84

Zunits NO

Units DD

Spheroid WGS84

Xshift 0.0000000000

Yshift 0.0000000000

Parameters

Is their anybody who could help me with this problem?

Thanks,
Matthias
