Complex data does not display properly in the ArcGIS application so we are removing it from the supported types list. This is a bit of a big hammer as it may remove functionality from some direct GDAL users, but this data is extremely problematic from an ArcGIS standpoint. */ /* case 6: eType = GDT_CFloat32; break; case 9: eType = GDT_CFloat64; break; */ }}} No wonder why I can not use my dataset anymore. I must say that I'm very surprised that every gdal users looses a valuable (SAR users will agree for sure) supported dataset types just to accommodate one software which is not able to display complex data." defect closed normal 1.7.0 GDAL_Raster 1.6.2 critical fixed envi, complex
