[postgis-users] [Qgis-developer] Fwd: WKTRaster Plugin 0.1

[Jorge Arévalo]

Hi,

If you want a GDAL version compiled with PostGIS Raster support on
Windows, you may take a look here: http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/

Visualizing PostGIS Raster data via GDAL driver is one of my TODO
tasks. I don't have too much free time now, but if you're interested
on this topic, and you're going to test it, please let me know. There
are more people interested on that, and I'm providing support to some
of them (not as much support as I'd like, because the time...)

Best regards,

>> Hi Stefan,

>> WKTRaster Plugin just repasses the right information to the GDAL driver.
>> It's not a new qgis driver.

>>
>> The idea in the plugin is simply find the QGIS's conections available, list

>> driver.
>>
>> At the moment I haven't found any gdal 1.7 windows build with QGIS. GDAL 1.7
>> introduces wktraster. The driver conects to postgis raster and read it as a
>> binary. It's still VERY unstable and gdal version 1.8 seems to be greatly
>> improved.
>> So what a windows user need to get the plugin to work is a (still not found)
>> qgis compiled against gdal 1.7.
>> You can compile your's from source if needed.
>>
>> So, as far as qgis to wktraster, with the plugin qgis reads the wktraster as
>> a regular raster. Just for show. If you did some kind of processing and
>> populated a new raster table, qgis is going to read that result too. The
>> plugin is not intended (at the moment at least) to raster processing inside
>> postgis. It just loads the table to the screen.
>>
>> In the future, with a more stable wktraster probably someone (or me) is
>> going to write a set of wktraster's tools as a plugin, but for the moment it
>> should be run as sql. I advise postgis manager's to the task.

>>> There are new versions around of "PostGIS Raster"

>>>
>>> What's the status of your "WKTRaster Plugin 0.1"?
>>> I assume it's rendering the raster values (e.g. from ST_AsBinary) -

>>> Is there a chance to get it running on Windows too?
>>> Are there other plugins?
