Hello,
I have been working on ticket #3797. In the example given, gdalinfo is the
calling the netcdf driver. I agree with Frank's opinion on this in ticket
#1660:
Note that GDALRasterBand has methods to get the offset and scale. The normal
GDAL practice would be to return them via those
Joaquim,
With my code I wrote today, the offset and scale are set on the

gdal_translate lixo.grd lixo.tif
gdalinfo lixo.tif -mm
I get:
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF

lixo.tif.aux.xml
Size is 21, 21
Coordinate System is `'

Yes, that is much better but (sorry for one other 'but') what about
formats that do not know anything about scale/offset?
(Surfer format is one comes right to my mind)
In those cases conversion would definitively go wrong. Issue a
screaming warning in than?

Joaquim,
With my
Ah, I see your issue. I honestly don't know what to do about that. The
only option I see is issuing a warning and continuing. I don't think
unscaling that data is an option without a user explicitly asking for it to
be unscaled. I am still not sure if this is even a gdal issue. The caller
