[Mapserver-users] Support for floating point binary grids

[Woody Wallace]

Hi,

The Raster HOWTO (dated 2001) suggests that more work is planned/in 
progress for reading in and classifying floating point rasters.

"Some format drivers (ie. GDAL) cast the pixel values to the range 0 to 
255 before applying the classification scheme to them, making it hard to 
use this classification mechanism to classify floating point, or other 
data not well expressed as unsigned byte data (0-255). This is a bug and 
should be corrected at some point in the future."

Will this be corrected in 3.7 or 4.0?

Thanks.

Woody
