Bill, thanks for that. The lightbulb in my head finally lit up.
I made a small adaption to the GIFAdaptor to take care of the
positioning in the geographic space.
At that point the combining of the FlatFields worked flawless.
I put the result and the code here:
http://www.jgrass.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/HowItIsGoingWithVisad
There will be need for optimization of the code, but it works.
I found that image is read flipped against the geographic position, so I
did a workaround on the colorarrays.
Has anyone a better solution for the flipping?
