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

[Maurício de Paulo]

Hi Jorge,
Good news. The plugin wktraster is exactly a tool to connect qgis to postgis
rasters through GDAL and visualize the data.
Stefan asked about the processing. This is something the plugin doesn't do.
I've tested with a friend both qgis (with the plugin) and mapserver loading
postgis rasters. Both worked fine, and the only requirement is qgis compiled
against gdal 1.7.
I'm interested in updating the plugin this week to work as I've planned.
It's going to speak for itself.
Best Regards,
Mauricio
Ps.: Anyone willing to help and join this effort is always welcome.
