Just starting out on your own? Brown-bag it for lunch and save $5 per day 5 times a week for 40 years. Invest that $5 each day, and how much will you have when you retire?

World File Calculator
Originally published 2009-03-31.
This is a simple JavaScript calculator for figuring out world files. Enter the coordinates of opposing corners of the image. Geographic coordinates should be positive with N/S and E/W chosen for direction from the equator and the prime meridian. For UTM enter either positive or negative numbers for northing and easting, and leave the selectors on N and W. The results can be copied and pasted into your world file. Rotations are not handled in this implementation, so the second and third values will always be zero.

This site was lost when the version of WordPress and/or PHP being used got to be too old. I still have access to the database containing the old articles and will be using that to restore some that I found most useful. There may be a new article posted from time to time, also. Just be aware that months or even years between posts doesn't necessarily mean that this site is moribund.
