== '''Objective B03a - Being able to set all the properties of a raster.''' ==
'''ST_SetSRID(raster|geometry, integer)'''[[BR]]
'''ST_SetPixelType(raster, band, string)'''[[BR]]
'''ST_SetPixelSize(raster)'''[[BR]]
'''ST_SetNoDataValue(raster, band, value)'''[[BR]]

== '''Objective B03c - Being able to do some base raster operations.''' ==
'''ST_Area(raster|geometry) -> double'''[[BR]]
'''ST_Count(raster, value) -> integer'''[[BR]]
'''ST_Resample(raster, pixelsize, method) -> raster'''
Recompute a raster in order to change its pixel size and/or the position of its upper left corner.
'''ST_SelectByValue(raster|geometry, ‘expression’) -> same type as first argument'''[[BR]]
'''ST_Reclass(raster|geometry,string) -> same type as first argument'''[[BR]]
'''ST_MapAlgebra(raster|geometry, [raster|geometry,…] ‘mathematical expression’, ‘raster’ |’geometry’) -> raster/geometry'''
Variant 1: ST_MapAlgebra(raster|geometry, [raster|geometry,…] ‘mathematical expression’, ‘raster’ |’geometry’, originx, originy, pixelsizex, pixelsizey, rotation ) -> raster/geometry
Variant 2: ST_MapAlgebra(raster|geometry, [raster|geometry,…] 'mathematical expression', 'raster' |'geometry', integer) ->raster/geometry
Variant 3: ST_MapAlgebra(raster|geometry, [raster|geometry,…] 'mathematical expression', 'raster' |'geometry', raster) ->raster/geometry
ST_MapAlgebra performs the specified mathematical expression on the input rasters, returning a raster or geometry. Both rasters must have the same SRID. If both rasters do not have the same SRID, ST_MapAlgebra will return an error:
ERROR: Operation on two geometries with different SRIDs
The first raster passed to ST_MapAlgebra is the 'master' raster, unless either:
1 additional parameter specifies the index (in the parameter list) of the 'master' raster.[[BR]]
1 additional parameter specifies a raster whose origin and cell size should be used to compute the output raster.[[BR]]
4 additional parameters are passed specifying the origin, cell size, and raster rotation.
This function implicitly calls ST_Intersects(raster|geometry, [raster|geometry,…]) to detect if the rasters are overlapping before performing any computation. Additionally, the resulting raster will have the same extent as the result of ST_Intersection(raster, integer, geometry).
One of the implications of the ST_Intersects inclusion is that:
SELECT ST_MapAlgebra(rast1, rast2, mathExpr) FROM mytable WHERE ST_Intersects(rast1, rast2)
will be faster than:
SELECT ST_MapAlgebra(rast1, rast2, mathExpr) FROM mytable
'''Open Question:''' Should ST_MapAlgebra resample rasters internally, or produce a raster that can be processed by ST_Resample? If so, variant 1 and variant 3 can be removed, and all ST_MapAlgebra results can be processed through ST_Resample, like:
ST_Resample(ST_MapAlgebra(raster, [raster,…] 'mathematical expression', integer), originx, originy, pixelsizex, pixelsizey)[[BR]]
ST_Resample(ST_MapAlgebra(raster, [raster,…] 'mathematical expression', integer), rastergrid)
'''ST_Clip(raster|geometry,geometry) -> same type as first argument'''[[BR]]
'''ST_Flip(raster|geometry, ’vertical’|’horizontal’) -> same type as first argument'''
