style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I am not really in favor
of offering this option, thus requiring the FDO Provider to scan the image to
determine the min/max values. This is especially true when interfacing with the
FdoRasterDataModel Interface, which is meant for informational purposes only. If
the underlying raster libraries do not offer the min/max values then I would rather
leave their brute force calculation up to the caller rather than providing this
logic in the provider. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the raster libraries that our providers deal with offer up the min/max values. For
example the ATIL library only offers access to the bits and bitsUsed per pixel.

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>3) If I read correctly, your proposal to
add the GetMinMax function would mean that GetBitsPerPixel and
GetBitsUsedPerPixel will not be supported. Following up on Sarat’s comments,
what was your opinion on providing both sets of API functions? I think this may
prove to be more flexible when implementing different raster providers such as
the Autodesk Raster provider and the GDAL Raster provider.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:blue'>To summarize, adding
the public functions from RFC1 provides a great deal of flexibility, without
compromising the more general and accurate approach outlined in RFC2. There is no
need to add a separate variable to store the bits used, which can be computed
when asked for with inline functions. An implementation detail is to eliminate </span></font></span><span

10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:blue'>, because having these set always
represents the object state accurately at all times. Combining both approaches
will eliminate the need to scan images unless the user specifically requests
for a full scan, by making use of available metadata.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
