[gdal-dev] NetCDF geotransform - pixel centre/upper-left issue

[Pinner, Luke]

The NetCDF driver computes the pixel centre from lat/lon variables (see
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1506).  

Is this correct or should it compute pixel upper-left?

Using the example NetCDF dataset attached to the above ticket
(http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/attachment/ticket/1506/out.nc), gdalinfo
reports the min longitude value to be -1.40625 which is not a valid
longitude (it's 1/2 a pixel less than 0 which is the min value in the
NetCDF lon variable).

gdalinfo out.nc
$ gdalinfo -nomd out.nc
