[postgis-users] SRTM Raster Geometry question

[Ed Linde]

Yves, I am not sure I understand what you are saying..sorry. My question is
basically if the points within a single cell can
potentially have different elevation values because of interpolation? Or do
all the points that lie within a cell get one elevation
value?
