Resolution keyword automatically added #171

Closed uniomni closed 13 years ago

uniomni commented 13 years ago

Currently, the native resolution is stored in an extra keyword. This loosens the one-to-one relationship we had between keywords in geoserver and on file. It works but it is slightly annoying. Also the resolution value has to be a string so it needs to be converted back to float before using.

It would perhaps be better to leave the keyword as strictly user-defined and instead store the OWSLib metadata dictionary with layer instances. Then all metadata would be available in any format. Not sure how important or doable this is, but now it has been flagged.

Associated with this issue, I can't decide whether to keep resolution as a 2-tuple (resx, resy) as gdal and geoserver uses or to go with a single cellsize which is what is actually stored in e.g. asc files and what is needed for scaling. Unfortunately, resx and resy are sometimes noticably different. This is now issue #173

Closing this for now with the option of reopening if we can store the native resolution differently one day....
