Raster Coordinate System type

The raster pixel array can be considered as a series of points or as a series of adjacent cells depending on the type of data the raster is representing.

This has a direct consequence on the interpretation of ULXMAP and ULYMAP keywords. This location (expressed in the dataset CRS) can be located at the center of the top-left most pixel (RASTER_CS_TYPE=POINT) or at the upper-left of that same pixel.

By default RASTER_CS_TYPE = CELL.

In the future other raster types could be used such as hexagonal cells.

Example :
 
<Raster_CS>
  <RASTER_CS_TYPE>CELL</RASTER_CS_TYPE>
  <PIXEL_ORIGIN>0</PIXEL_ORIGIN>
</Raster_CS>

Datatype : t_RASTER_CS_TYPE (based on Raster_CS_Types)
