PostGIS WKT Raster Beta 0.6


Objective B06a - Being able to use all the other topological operators

RT_Equals(raster|geometry, raster|geometry)

Objective B07b - Being able to edit a raster

RT_Value(raster, band, x, y) → value
Return value of a single pixel. Pixel location is specified by 1-based index of Nth band of raster and X,Y coordinates.
The X coordinate is expected to be in range of [1, RT_Width(raster)] and Y coordinate in range of [1, RT_Height(raster))]. Return value is of type of 64-bit float-point number.
TODO: mloskot: Should we return NUMERIC instead of FLOAT8?

RT_SetValue(raster, band, x, y, value)
RT_Affine(raster|geometry,…) → same type as input
RT_Translate(raster|geometry,…) → same type as input
RT_Scale(raster|geometry,…) → same type as input
RT_TransScale(raster|geometry,…) → same type as input
RT_RotateZ,Y,Z(raster|geometry, float8) → same type as input

Other functions

RT_AsBinary(raster, compression)
RT_RasterFromWKB(raster, [<srid>])
RT_RasterFromText(string, [<srid>])
RT_AsText(raster)
