NAME
ossim-chipper - ossim-chipper
SYNOPSIS
ossim-chipper [option]... [input-option]... <input-file(s)> <output-file>
DESCRIPTION
Note at least one input is required either from one of the input options, e.g. --input-dem <my-dem.hgt>
or adding to command line in front of the output file in which case the code will try to ascertain what
type of input it is.
Available traces: -T "ossimChipperUtil:debug" - General debug trace to standard out. -T
"ossimChipperUtil:log" - Writes a log file to output-file.log. -T "ossimChipperUtil:options" -
Writes the options to output-file-options.kwl.
Description: ossim-chipper Utility application for generating elevation products from dem data.

on trace to the ossimChipperUtil class by adding "-T ossimChipperUtil" to your command.
--origin-latitude
<latidude_in_decimal_degrees> Note if set this will be used for the origin latitude of the
projection. Setting this to something other than 0.0 with a geographic projection creates a

boundary.
--srs <src_code> Specify a spatial reference system(srs) code for the output projection. Example: --srs
EPSG:4326

Display this help and exit.
-n or --north-up
Rotates image North up. "chip" operation only.
-r or --rotate
