Q: Does HEG output=
any other formats besides GeoTIFF?
A: Yes, HEG can output to HDF-EOS and to Binary formats. One may wish to out=
put to HDF-EOS in order to reduce the size of the original input HDF-EOS da=
ta set. They can be quite large containing many parameters and possibly onl=
y a few parameters are needed.
Q: Can HEG place multiple images into one GeoTIFF=
?
A: Yes it can. It can create Multi-=
Band GeoTIFFs. Up to 20 bands can be stacked in one GeoTIFF.

Q: Can HEG=
be used as a "Subsetter"?
A: Yes. It=
can take a subset of SDSs (Fields in the Objects) from the input Object an=
d place them in an output HDF-EOS Object. It can also do the same for Bands=
in 3 and 4 dimensional SDSs. This usually makes the data more user friendl=
y, by selecting only what is needed from a large number of parameters in th=
e input HDF-EOS dataset. Input data sets can be quite large making them cum=
bersome to work with and transfer over the internet.
