Raster → Drivers
As stated in the Raster Base Concepts section, the Raster module provides the classes foundation for creating implementations that truly access data in a specific format or system. These implementations are called hereinafter as Raster Drivers. We can classify the drivers in two categories as follows.
Native Drivers
TO BE DONE
GRIB
The GRIB native raster driver allows applications to access spatial data stored in a GRIB file. You can have more details about this driver here.
Memory
The Memory native raster driver allows applications to manipulate rasters in memory. You can have more details about this driver here.
PostgreSQL/PostGIS
The PostGIS native raster driver allows applications to access data stored in a PostgreSQL system with the the geo-spatial extension PostGIS enabled. You can have more details about this driver here.
SQLite
The SQLite native raster driver allows applications to access spatial data stored in a SQLite database. It can access data stored in the geo-spatial extension RasterLite. You can have more details about this driver here.
Drivers over Multi-Access Library
TO BE DONE
GDAL
The GDAL raster driver is build on top of Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) and it is a multi-driver, allowing applications to access several raster data formats through GDAL. You can have more details about this driver here.
