[gdal-dev] Writing pixel values

[Akhil Jaggarwal]

Ivan,

I call CreateCopy() to create a copy of the input, because I need the
output to hold all the metadata.

 hDestDS = GDALCreateCopy( hDriver, pszDestFileName, hDataset, FALSE,
                                    NULL, NULL, NULL );


Is this how I create a new band for writing?

hDestDS = GDALOpen( pszDestFileName, GA_Update );

Thanks.
