[gdal-dev] Geotiff with bands of different type

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Martin,

I'm sorry. I just found out that GDALDataset::AddBand() is not supported by
most format drivers.  GeoTiff format driver doesn't support it.  Also,
having different data types for bands may confuse some applications.

If you are trying to create a mask band, refer to
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc15_nodatabitmask

FYI, 1.5 branch is no longer supported.
