Hi list, this will sound strange, but since I tend to stay in the udig life and not to get my hands too dirty in geotools, this comes all new to me.
I followed some fighting of the coverage gods in the past. But what I noticed only recently is that there are two separate efforts on the coverage side (is this the moment many of you are saying that this is no news? well I didn't know and probably others do not). I don't want to enter the philosophical part of this story, but since now I need to finish my port to geotools of the GRASS raster reader/writer, I need to discuss a bit. My impressions is that the two trails are somewhat different: - imageio-ext seems to be dedicated to imagery and its optimization in visualization - coveragio seems to be more scientific and with the need to follow strick the standards I agree that this is a very superficial analysis, which is more due to my current needs than to other things In fact JGrass is a scientific library for terrain analysis and we are going to propose at the next openmi tecnical meeting some spatial implementations, for which it is mandatory for us to follow strict standards. Basing on these facts coverageio seems to be the proper choice for us, even if we already started on the imageio-ext side. I'm getting a headache... Please, can I ask for some comment on all this, Thanks, The piano player PS: don't shoot the piano player ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Geotools-devel mailing list Geotools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel
