Hi all. I have a DVD-ROM of maps in the ECW format. Please can anyone help with regards to printing them on A4 paper? I have tried via the ER Viewer that came with the DVD but it only prints on a small portion of the page? I'm confused....
How to print ECW (Maps) files?

Links to a variety of ECW viewers (including ER Viewer) are available at http://ecw-map-viewer.en.informer.com/Originally Posted by Buel
Have you tried any of the others?

Hi and thank you for replying. Apologies, I should have said that I do have ER Viewer and I can view the maps with this but I cannot print successfully - I can only manage to print a small area of an A4 page? Is there something else I should be doing, please?
If you are unable to persuade ER Viewer either to scale down the map so it all fits on one page or to cut the map into several pieces, each of which fits on a single page, then you should try to use one of the other viewers. One of them might be able to do the needful.

ecw is based on jpeg2000
you have to have that support first
gdal can work with it maybe
the OLD out of date version has a qgis plugin
but gdal2 and the current qgis might have a jpeg2000 problem
16 years ago jpeg 2000 never took off as a format
i have only seen ONE major data set use it
the Univ. of Arizona and the MRO HiRies data
erdas has a SDK

for gdal see:
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW
free to "USE" for some thingsIn order to use ECW format with GDAL, you need to download the "ERDAS ECW/JP2 SDK" from the Hexagon Geospatial website. The 4.3 or newer read-only SDK should be available for free download after agreeing to licensing terms. In order to write ECW or JPEG2000 files via the ECW SDK it is necessary to purchase a write enabled version of the SDK from Hexagon Geospatial/ERDAS.

"GeoVisu" or "OziExplorer" might work
