Hi, I am trying to achieve effect of running image magick command (convert -depth 8 -colors 32) on png files (tiles) generated by gdal2tiles.py As far as I can tell by searching Gdal code, that there is no such option in the png_driver. Is this correct? If so, what is the easiest way to add this

While you certainly can accomplish this using GDAL, you'll need to first figure out which hgt file to open, then translate the geographic coordinate to the image coordinate to know what pixel value to lookup. An alternative solution is OSSIM (http://www.ossim.org/). It has a command-line app call
