Please first of all let me apologize for the rather stupid seeming question,
there was some problem with my email and I got one single message from the
list in two weeks. Then I saw the archives... and I'm very very glad
about what I saw there :-)
Now I browsed throught three years of posts and solved a lot of doubts.

Yes, my domain is metric and the resolutions are different. Dem could be
10 meters and photo 1 meter.
So I should define a coordinatesystem for metric and than combine the
fields. I can't find where to use the coordinate system.
In the code below I read the image and gain a flatField, which is
already read in the wrong position (the imageposition 0-2000,0-2000).
I do a resampling which obviously does not what I need, but I assume it
is there that something should happen.
Set domainSet2 = new Linear2DSet(domain, 1632840.5, 1634840.5,
(int) (1634840.5 - 1632840.5), 5097079.5, 5099079.5,
(int) (5099079.5 - 5097079.5));
imageField.resample(domainSet2);
I have the boundaries, but the field has no translate method.
I'm on the best way of confusion, probably because I'm not enough in it
yet. Can someone please make some order in my thoughts?
Best regards,
Andrea
