Size limit on Geotiff files?

David4 · March 22, 2016, 7:27am

I have a geotiff file which is 246MB, along with an associated tfw file.

I am using the following code:

Dim RasterLayer1 As New GeoTiffRasterLayer(“C:\Users\User\Desktop\Murphy\RasterFiles\70210.tif”)

ClientRasterOverlay.Layers.Add(“RasterLayer” & Trim(LayerCounter.ToString), RasterLayer1) ’ add the layer to the overlay

WinformsMap1.Refresh(ClientRasterOverlay)

I get the following error at the Refresh line. If I try a different geotiff file which is only 50MB in size the code works fine and I can see the layer on the map.

Is there a maximum size for geotiff files in MapSuite Desktop? I am running version 7.0.0.0 of MapSuite and Windows 7, 64 bit Pro with 24GB of RAM.

Or is there another way to load in geotiff files?

Oh, one more piece of the puzzle - using MapSuiteExplorer I can open that TIF with no problems and it displays properly. But as there is no code that I can see for how MapSuiteExplorer does it so I am still in the dark, though I now assume the 246MB size is not the cause of the crash.

Hi David.

Thanks for your post, we tried to recreate your problem with the latest dlls 7.0.110.0 with our own data, but it didn’t show up, would you please get the latest dlls and try it again, if the problem is still there, would please send us your data for a further test? If the file size has exceeded the upload file size, then would you please send it to forumsupport@thinkgeo.com.

Waiting for your further information.

Summer

Actually I managed to fix, or at least workaround my problem. Previously I was using:

Dim RasterLayer1 As New GeoTiffRasterLayer(IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(cfgFile) & "" & Split(SourceLine, ",")(0))

and having the problem reported. But when I changed to this:

Dim RasterLayer1 As GdiPlusRasterLayer

RasterLayer1 = New GdiPlusRasterLayer(IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(cfgFile) & "" & Split(SourceLine, ",")(0))

it seems to work fine. I have no idea what the differences are between these 2 layers and why the less obvious one would work fine. Any idea what the difference is between the 2?

Hi David,

Great to hear the problem is sorted out, and if there are any other problem please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Summer

David4 · March 22, 2016, 9:19am

Problem is worked around rather than sorted out, but confusion is still there - why would GDIPlusRasterLayer work on a TIFF file but GeoTiffRaster won’t work on the same file?

Summer1 · March 22, 2016, 9:19am

Hi David,

You’re right, it is a little strange, would you please provide us your data so that we could make a deeper investigation for it.

Waiting for your further information.

Best Regards

Summer

I uploaded the file as requested from the email instructions last week and replied to the email last week also. Guess I should let you know in this ticket that the data is there.

Hi David,

Sorry for the long time waiting.

We can show the tiff image from you without the exception, but the result is not as expected. After dug into it, we found there might be a bug in GeoTiffRasterLayer if the tiff image is tiled. As for this issue, I am afraid it is not easy to fix in a short time, so I have post it to our tracking system and I hope we can fix it ASAP.

The difference between using GeoTiffRasterLayer and GdiPlusRasterLayer is that the former is using the tiff dlls to operate it and the latter is rendering based on its RGB. But for the result, there is not a big difference.

Sorry to say you have to use the GdiPlusRasterLayer until the tiled tiff image issue is fixed.

Best regards,
Johnny
