New Post: Enabling tif compression

Hello all,

I'm working on an application that creates a bunch of gis output and it would be quite helpful to enable tif compression to reduce file sizes.

From the API documentation it looks like there is support but I can't find any examples of it in use.

So far I tried adding the following lines (vb.net) to my main form load sub routine:

Dim gs As New MapWinGIS.GlobalSettings
gs.TiffCompression = MapWinGIS.tkTiffCompression.tkmLZW

But this didn't seem to change the file output size. Using LZW compression in Arcmap reduces the size from 660mb to 9mb.

Many thanks for sharing your package,
Colin
