[postgis-devel] [wktraster] Regular blocking and rotation

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I think rotation property of regular blocking needs to be
specified explicitly and clearly in the WKT Raster specification.

Current document [1] makes explicit use of word "rotation" only once:

"
5. The extent field must be a simple rectangle (non-rotated).
"

Next, there is no rotation included in the schema of RASTER_COLUMNS table.

It seems to be enough to conclude that regular blocking coverage
is never rotated. But, is this conclusion correct?
I've scanned through all archived WKT Raster discussions 
and I couldn't find any confirmation.
