I have never used the gdal_grid utility. Outside of its manpage
(http://www.gdal.org/gdal_grid.html) i haven't found any usage examples.
As far as inputs are concerned it talks about csv file. Are there other
input formats. Is there a list of options?
Also, this might be a dumb question, but would it be of any value to
call the compiled c-gdal library directly from my python code?
