[Geoserver-devel] First commit of ImagePyramid plugin

Hi lists,
a very first version of the ImagePyramid plugin has been committed to
geotoold trunk.

This plugin is a read-only coverage plugin to seamlessly create
coverages out of a pyramid of mosaics of georeferenced images or
geotiffs.

For this week i will not be able to write any documentation (who is
ever able when doing development?), but if fyou need some guidance
send emails to the geotools-devel list and/or check the (extensive)
unit tests.

Just to let you know, under spike/coveragestools directory of geotools
trunk you might find a working version of tools to do various
processing on coverages, namely:

-MosaicIndexBuilder to build the index and related resources for a
mosaic of images ( quite good state)

-CoverageTiler to tile large coverage or retile a mosaic (not in such
a bad state)

-PyramidBuilder to build the levels of a pyramid starting from a
single mosaic (not in such a bad state)
- CoverageScaler to subsample a set of coverages (needs massive
improvement still)

Ciao,
  Simone.
