[gdal-dev] Random Raster Driver

[Alex Hagen-Zanker]

Hi all,

I implemented a plugin raster format that produces raster of random values using the all the distributions that are offered by the standard library's random header. It is different from other random raster functionality in e.g. ArcGIS or QGIS because it does not store the data on file but generates blocks of data on-demand.

Now it is for my own use, but I'd be happy to polish it up if it can become part of GDAL.

There is documentation here:

random-raster/docs/random_raster_driver.md at main · ahhz/random-raster<https://github.com/ahhz/random-raster/blob/main/docs/random_raster_driver.md>
Create GDALDatasets containing rasters of random values, that do not store the values on disk - ahhz/random-raster
github.com
Would this be of interest as a GDAL format?

Kind regards, Alex
