Hi Tyn,

Its been a long time since we talked; I trust you are well!

No, IMGCOMBO's purpose is to combine multiple single-banded
images into a single multi-banded AREA file.  To work, all of the
images have to have the same navigation and be co-located.

The MERGE_POLAR command might be useful for you as it is supposed
to merge multiple polar orbiter images into a single image. I will
add this into my distribution if it doesn't have too many errors
when compiling (the XRD routines are available as is -- some have
significant problems when running on platforms that don't match
the original).

The fully supported command that you can use straight off is IMGREMAP.
All you need to do is find/create/define the area in which you
want the composite and then use IMGREMAP with the MERGE= keyword to
combine the multiple passes.


re:
> Anyhow, could you make this available pls?

I am working on incorporating the SSEC v2009.2 mods to Unidata McIDAS
right now.  Yesterday, I added the IMGCOMBO, IMGPARM and MDSCAT
programs and did some bug fixing on some of the XRD servers.  The
last bit of work needed is to incorporate SSEC's changes to the
makefile that allow one to build just the routines that don't
require X11.  Hopefully, this work will be finished by the end
of the day today.  I will send you a note when it is ready to
download.

Cheers,

Tom
