Oh. OK, then.
When might I want to use the CELL driver rather than the XDRIVER? I'm
trying to understand the intricacies both for myself and to explain it to my
clients when I train them on the spatial DSS I'm developing for them.
The CELL driver allows you to put many different map elements into one high resolution raster file that can then be exported into the known raster image formats. It is, therefore, essentially used for map creation.

Another comment: You will also like the PNGDriver which directly exports to
PNG format...
