All Known Implementing Classes:

AIGFormatFactory, ArcGridFormatFactory, ArcSDERasterFormatFactory, BaseGridFormatFactorySPI, DTEDFormatFactory, ECWFormatFactory, EnviHdrFormatFactory, ErdasImgFormatFactory, EsriHdrFormatFactory, GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi, GrassCoverageFormatFactory, GTopo30FormatFactory, IDRISIFormatFactory, ImageMosaicFormatFactory, ImageMosaicJDBCFormatFactory, ImagePyramidFormatFactory, JP2ECWFormatFactory, JP2KFormatFactory, JP2KFormatFactory, JP2MrSIDFormatFactory, MrSIDFormatFactory, NITFFormatFactory, RPFTOCFormatFactory, WorldImageFormatFactory

public interface GridFormatFactorySpi
extends OptionalFactory

Constructs a live GridCoverageFormat.

In addition to implementing this interface datastores should have a services file:

META-INF/services/org.geotools.data.GridCoverageFormatFactorySpi

The file should contain a single line which gives the full name of the implementing class.

example:
e.g. org.geotools.data.arcgrid.ArcGridFormatFactory

The factories are never called directly by users, instead the GridFormatFinder class is used.
