Coverage

The gt-coverage module provides a way to build and use highly structured grids of numeric values such as imagery data, for instance GeoTIFF format files, or multi-dimensional matrix data, like that found in NetCDF format files.

gt-coverage module

The gt-coverage module is responsible for:

• implementation of the coverage interfaces from gt-api such as GridCoverage2D and Format

• Bridging between Java Advanced Imaging, JAI Image IO and Java Image facilities and the geospatial idea of a GridCoverage

• Recognizing additional formats available on the CLASSPATH using GridFormatFinder

The module supports the use of coverage information (i.e. raster) from a range of sources.
