Description (last modified by )
Similar to how GTiffDataset::OpenOffset can use a MapInfo TAB file to collect georegistration information, a similar process should be made available for ECW. MapInfo 6 itself can do things this way.
I have already patched ecwdataset.cpp for my own use (and it works!), but I have no sense of if my patch breaks any other existing functionality.
In the more general case, a MapInfo TAB file can probably specify georegistration information for any raster file (not just TIFF and ECW), but ECW just happens to be the format that most of my data is in.
My suggestion would be for me to submit my patch as a starting point so that you can make it more robust for general use.
