[gdal-dev] gdalbuildvrt and band descriptions

[Javier Jimenez Shaw]

Thanks Even, very useful.

I didn't check the parent class, GDALMajorObject, my fault.

I use two sources (example for raster band):
- https://gdal.org/doxygen/classGDALRasterBand.html where I have to click
on the parent class(es), and study them recursively. Oh, now I realize that
the small arrow in front is a toggle (|> Public Member Functions inherited
from GDALMajorObject), that doesn't work (chromium and firefox). The
browser console says:
  classGDALRasterBand.html:246 Uncaught ReferenceError: toggleInherit is
not defined
      at HTMLTableCellElement.onclick (classGDALRasterBand.html:246)
- https://gdal.org/api/gdalrasterband_cpp.html where the name of the parent
class is not a link. Actually I do not find the parent class in the API
section. BTW, this page has a strange formatting, without spaces in the
function declarations, that makes complicated to read it.

My subconscious was expecting the list of all public methods, including
those that come from the ancestor classes, in the class documentation.

Cheers,
Javier.
