 > I don't think so. That would unwisely change the shape of the raster
 footprint. I knew I described this better. It is in the ST_AsRaster()
 specs where I describe how to align the desired raster. I will try to
 describe it better here...

 what should be the new upperleft corner of the raster. They define a grid
 on which the raster should snap to. So it is neither of your drawings...
 An alignment grid is defined by x, y and a pixelsize. The pixel size can
 be defined with just 'pixelsize', meaning that scalex = scaley and skewx =
 skewy = 0 of with some of those pixelsize parameters (variants 7 and 9).
 This is why I did not call them ulx and uly but just x and y. Those x and
 y are arbitrary upperleft corner of ANY pixel of the new grid to snap to.
 You have to compute the new ulx and uly of the resampled raster
 according/to snap to this grid.

 I think I understand what you're describing.  I'm going to have to let
 this sink in for a bit to understand the calculation involved.
