If you need complete control, and your data are not too massive in
number, I have had good results pushing pixel coordinates as points
into postgis and then using spatial queries to aggregate in various
ways (eg averages a hexagonal grid). It seems round-about, but it
works. I've actually done it on some pretty massive grids.
