[gdal-dev] FW: Function - GDALCreatePansharpenedVRT

Jidnyasa,

Please let the list CC'ed (I've re-added it)

Well 2 choices:

1) port 
https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/scripts/gdal_pansharpen.py 
to C++. That shouldn't be too hard. It mostly formats the XML of the VRT and 
finally pass it to GDALCreateCopy

2) or perhaps less cumbersome, use the lower level C++ pansharping API of 
alg/gdalpansharpen.h ( http://www.gdal.org/gdalpansharpen_8h.html )
