Actually the plugin was born in really speedy fashion. I think that at the moment it speaks for itself as it's actually very simple.<br>I could test the UI on windows, if that's what you need, but to actually read the raster you need gdal recognizing postgis rasters so only for 1.7 builds.<br>
That's why i was able to alter it on windows. I can test the plugin part. I can't test GDAL part.<br>QGIS is releasing a new version these weeks. I'm going to ask if is anyone going to compile a windows build with gdal 1.7 or (with luck) 1.8.<br>
What kind of demo do you need? I don't have a hosting for the plugin at the moment but I can produce some ubuntu's screenshots (or even a video).<br>The plugin's fairly simple, though.<br>For the next request (a tool to process the queries), QGIS does have a really nice tool called RT_Sql to execute PostGIS SQL queries.<br>
I don't really know if I should bring a new tool to the application doing almost the same thing with just different datasources.<br>What can be done is to talk with the guys who developped RT_Sql and check if they don't want a little improvement to cope with raster layers too.<br>
<br>Anyway, there is still a mystic point for me: some processing returns vector and some return rasters (and I don'nt think that's all). That's... odd to cope with. I'm still giving some thought to it. I still need to read how postgis raster processing works and gives results.<br>

</div>Yes that would definitely be a great feature as well as having it in a<br>
pre-compiled windows build.<br>

Do you have a link for more information about this plugin. I'd like to<br>
include it as part of the PostGIS manual and PostGIS raster wiki.<br>
Unfortunately we don't have a build environment for QGIS, but if there is a<br>
windows build,Leo and I would be happy to write up a demo on using the tool<br>
And at the very least we'll be mentioning it in the PostGIS in Action book<br>
if not including snapshots as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Regina and Leo,<br>
