Comment(by robe):

 done at r8301 and I incorporated the image in ST_PixelWidth.

 Ideally we should have a chapter on raster fundamentals and best practices
 that covers these things in more detail and that is linked back to from
 the reference functions.

 Something similar to http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-
 svn/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html (primary importance)

 and - http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-svn/ch05.html
 (secondary).

 Where we would stuff raster concepts / best practices etc.  I was thinking
 about putting it in those existing sections, but I think that may just
 confuse people not using raster and force people looking for raster
 information to sift through stuff that is only useful if you are doing
 strictly geometry.  Raster is dfferent enough that it deserves its own
 chapters and we rename the existing Data Management for Geometry/Geography
 etc.  Granted there is some overlap, but that overlap is probably better
 served in a raster section with reference to it from the geometry section.
