[gdal-dev] gdal2tiles.py "direct warping" issue?

[Nathan Vander Wilt]

I'm looking through gdal2tiles.py to get a feel for how it works and any potential issues I might encounter. Around line 801 of the script in GDAL 1.7.1 (right after the call to gdal.AutoCreateWarpedVRT) there is a comment that says:

TODO: HIGH PRIORITY: Correction of AutoCreateWarpedVRT according to the max zoomlevel for correct direct warping!!!

What is this about? Is there a problem with the warping done by gdal2tiles.py in some cases?

thanks,
