Description

IMAGING-266 added the ability to read numerical data from TIFF files that gave 16-bit integer samples. This feature addressed data products such as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) which provided high-resolution terrestrial elevation data. Recently, I encountered an elevation product that used 32-bit integer samples.  I propose to enhance the numerical-data functions to read 32-bit data.
