Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the links; those are incredibly helpful. We are asking since we supporting a use case which involves imagery (pixel by area) and elevation (pixel by point) together.

Just to make sure, it sounds like gdal's 'pixel by area' maps to 'pixel is center', right?

Thanks for noting the extensibility of WCS 2.0. Are there existing vendor profile examples that I could crib off of?

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Andrew,
in geotools we call this issue "pixel is center" vs " pixel is corner".
OGC mandates the "pixel is center" interpretation as far as I know, see also:
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/122670/is-there-a-standard-for-the-coordinates-of-pixels-in-georeferenced-rasters
http://mapserver.org/fr/development/rfc/ms-rfc-107.html

As far as I know, GeoTools tries to work "pixel is center" from beginning to end, and there are no ways to control that, also, WCS follows the OGC interpretation strictly and does not
offer a way to return "pixel is corner" rasters, but I may  be wrong.
I'm cc'ing Daniele, he should know more on this matter.

That said, especially in WCS 2.0, built to be extensible, one could put together a vendor profile that allows controlling
the pixel interpretation for the outputs.

Cheers
Andrea

    Hello GeoServer users,

    I am making wcs 1.0.0 requests for geotiffs against a coverage layer.
    Does GeoServer support returning geotiffs via wcs that are "Point"
    instead of "Area" pixels for the meta-data value: "AREA_OR_POINT"?
    This
    metadata field is further explained here:
    http://www.gdal.org/gdal_datamodel.html. By default the geotiff writer
    assumes area, and that writer appears to be used in the
    GeoTIFFCoverageResponseDelegate. Is there some way to set this as
    a hint
    in the wcs query url or is there something I can overwrite when
    extending the AbstractGridCoverage2DReader and/or the
    AbstractGridFormat
    so that the ResponseDelegate will pick up on that hint? Although
    it may
    not matter I am working with geoserver 2.5.2 / geotools 11.2.

    Also if this question is more appropriate for the geotools user
    list let
    me know.

    Thanks - Andrew
