[mapguide-users] Configure Raster using th GDAL FDO provider

[Andy Morsell]

Tom also put this on the MGOS technical FAQ's page on the Wiki.  I just
added some information about the ECW and MrSID plug-ins that Frank created.

Janne,

To the best of my knowledge the only public documentation on how to
configure the GDAL raster provider is the brief note at the bottom of:

   http://fdo.osgeo.org/fdogdal/index.html

It notes that you should set the DefaultRasterFileLocation property for the
connection to refer to the raster file you wish to use, or to point to a
directory with a bunch of files.

Generally speaking GDAL will utilize .tfw's or .aux files associated with
TIFF files; however, the raster provider is based on GDAL 1.3.1 which lacks
a variety of more recent improvements to the .aux handling.

Did you have some specific question(s)?

Best regards,
--
