[Qgis-developer] GSoC: GDAL/OGR frontend plugin?

[Florian Hillen]

Hi Godofredo,

do you mean translate a JPEG into a TIFF? Or what do you exactly mean?
The first function is only the reprojection between different crs, this
means: Select a rasterfile (e.g. epsg: 4326), choose new filename and crs
(e.g. epsg: 31467) and receive a new raster with the new crs.
All further function (gdal translate too) are also planed bit by bit ;)

Best regards,
Florian
