#1199 new enhancement

let the user specify overviews format and compression

Reported by: msieczka Owned by: ersts
Priority: major: does not work as expected Milestone: Version 1.7.0
Component: Rasters Version: Trunk
Keywords: Cc:
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: All
Platform Version: Awaiting user input: no

Description

Please let the user use either Erdas or TIFF external overviews and set compression on/off. In case of TIFF overviews let him choose compresion scheme DEFLATE/LZW/PACKBITS (JPEG maybe too?); hint that DEFLATE compresses best of the 3 and better than Erdas RLC compression too, but that Erdas overviews are supported also in non-GDAL dependent software like ArcGIS and Erdas Imagine, which improves compatibility.

I'm not sure if *internal* overvievs can be compressed for *non-compressed* rasters and vice-versa; that's something to investigate.
