GDAL 1.9.1 - GDALMD_AREA_OR_POINT not set while reading ASCII grid file (.asc)

[Remix007]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a .asc (ASCII grid from ESRI) file. I want to get the convention used for the goereferencing of te ASC, whther it be AREA or POINT.

If I have a .asc with the xllcenter and yllcenter tags, then the driver (in frmts/aaigrid/aaigriddataset.cpp) calls the method :

# line 561 SetMetadataItem( GDALMD_AREA_OR_POINT, GDALMD_AOP_POINT );

In case I have a .asc with the xllcorner and yllcorner tags, the metadata GDALMD_AREA_OR_POINT is not assigned, which causes some problems afterwards.

I suggest adding the same call in this case.
