[gdal-dev] Reading the data 'backwards'

[Even Rouault]

Sometimes, it is desirable for GDAL not try to be too smart ;-)

However I think you can achieve what you want if you provide the buffer 
with the right offset and a negative nLineSpace parameter. Something 
like that (untested !) :

void* pBuffer = malloc(width * height);
poBand->RasterIO(GF_Read, 0, 0, width, height, pBuffer + width * (height 
- 1), width, height, GDT_Byte, 1, -width)
