[Gdal-dev] MapInfo Raster .tab File Samples

Folks,

I am attempting to implement good support raster files georeferenced
with MapInfo .tab files in my GDAL library, and I find myself not having
that great a collection of samples.

I would appreciate it if anyone with raster files georeferenced via
mapinfo .tab files could send me the .tab files.  No need to send the
raster file, though if convenient it would be nice to know the size in pixels
and lines of the raster file.

The .tab files should be smallish, and contain the keyword 'type "RASTER"'
like this:

dc_quad.tab:
!table
!version 300
!charset WindowsLatin1

Definition Table
   File "dc_quad.tif"
   Type "RASTER"
   (-77.0489,38.9112) (64,51) Label "Pt 1",
   (-77.0048,38.9086) (827,108) Label "Pt 2",
   (-77.003782,38.88729) (848,580) Label "Pt 3",
   (-77.0501,38.888) (37,565) Label "Pt 4"
   CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 0
   Units "degree"

Best regards,

--
