Hi all,

This is a similar question to that posed in <https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-November/030880.html>, which didn't seem to be resolved on the mailing list.

Basically, I am running the following command:

gdaldem color-relief dhaka.tif colour-relief.ramp dhaka-colour-relief.tif -alpha -of GTiff -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co PREDICTOR=1 -co ZLEVEL=9 -co TILED=YES

colour-relief.ramp is as follows:

500    0   1   36
300    12  15  118
75     33  109 158
30     63  184 105
3      120 234 50
0      254 255 125
nv     0   0   0   0

dhaka.tif is as follows:

Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: dhaka.tif
Size is 443, 217
Coordinate System is:

Band 1 Block=256x256 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Gray
  NoData Value=nan

All files are available at <http://dropcanvas.com/yazx9>.

I find that the NODATA values are assigned the maximum colour value in dhaka-colour-relief.tif i.e. RGBA 0 1 36 255.

Changing the NODATA to -1 using `gdal_translate -a_nodata -1` does not seem to affect this outcome. I have tested this using both GDAL 1.11.2 and a recent trunk build on Linux.

Does anyone have any ideas on making the nodata value transparent in the colour relief output?

Many thanks,

Homme.
