I've been poking around the Javadoc in Geotools to see what code I might be able to use to improve JUMP's support for displaying georeferrenced raster images. I've been looking at the org.geotools.coverage.grid package mostly.
It seems like the coverage model may be a little more heavy than I need. This makes sense, as coverages could be a lot more than images, and all I want is images. Is UDig currently using the coverage code to display raster images as a map background? Is there an alternative solution using Geotools? Here is the basic work flow I am trying to implement: - The user selects an image file which has a corresponding world file. - JUMP paints the image file on the map view using the information in the world file to put the image in the "correct" location. I know I can use the WorldfileReader class in org.geotools.data to do some of this work. But I'd like to reuse more code if I could. I'm also trying to avoid a dependency on JAI or other native libraries. I was even toying with the idea of using the ImagePlus class from ImageJ to back a Geotools interface (I'm not sure which one) that represents a georeferrenced image. This would allow me to automatically pick-up support for all of the raster formats that ImageJ supports. I can whip up my own solution using the ImageJ code and the WorldFileReader class without anything else from Geotools, but I'm trying to increase the opportunities for sharing. At any rate, I appreciate suggestions. I'm not sure if I'm on the right track with the coverage code.
