[Qgis-developer] QgsMapCanvas with Dimap data

[Radim Blazek]

At this moment there is no support to do this neither in raster
providers branch.
All the providers (GDAL,GRASS, WMS) are using a library/service
functions to get
required extent / resolution. I have to check however, if GDAL warp
(used for that in GDAL provider)
is fast enough. If not, we have to return to QgsRasterViewPort, and
that would become
available for all providers.
