[Qgis-developer] Fwd: WKTRaster Plugin 0.1

[Stefan Keller]

Ok (I'm cross posting to qgis-developer and postgis-users).

I'm still not sure if I did express myself clearly:
You say, that under Windows, there's no QGIS compiled against GDAL
1.7/1.8 with PostGIS Raster support?

What I finally dream of, is using QGIS to display the results of a SQL
query (either as raster or vector) against at least one raster layer.
This query contains raster constructors (like ST_Intersection) and
operations (like ST_Reclass; see
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/WKTRaster).

Any suggestions?
-S.
