GridFormatFactorySpi (Geotools modules 31-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

Factory, OptionalFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AIGFormatFactory, ArcGridFormatFactory, BaseGridFormatFactorySPI, DTEDFormatFactory, ECWFormatFactory, EnviHdrFormatFactory, ErdasImgFormatFactory, EsriHdrFormatFactory, GeoPackageFormatFactorySpi, GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi, GrassCoverageFormatFactory, GRIBFormatFactorySPI, IDRISIFormatFactory, ImageMosaicFormatFactory, ImagePyramidFormatFactory, JP2ECWFormatFactory, JP2KFormatFactory, JP2KFormatFactory, JP2MrSIDFormatFactory, MBTilesFormatFactorySpi, MrSIDFormatFactory, NetCDFFormatFactorySPI, NITFFormatFactory, PGRasterFactory, RPFTOCFormatFactory, SRPFormatFactory, TPKFormatFactorySpi, VRTFormatFactory, VSIFormatFactory, 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.
