*will* efficiently pull out reduced resolution images on<br>
the fly without overviews if you have a file organized<br>
with a one scanline block even in the year 2013. For<br>
map serving you are still much better off for several<br>

love the properly that a one-block-scanline file can be<br>
quickly subsamled by viewer applications like OpenEV<br>
and QGIS.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi Frank,</div><div>this is quite interesting. Can you elaborate a bit of what "one block scanline" means?</div><div>E.g., what is the actual tiling structure of this file?</div>
