[postgis-devel] Another idea to speedup raster value editing

[Pierre Racine]

For sure being able to 'print' (or 'burn') a set of point of multipoint in a raster is interesting.

This can be done quickly by making sure ST_AsRaster() supports point and multipoints and then making a wrapper around ST_MapAlgebra(raster, raster) (See Objective FV.19, ST_BurnToRaster).
