Data type for raster image

This field describes how to decode the binary values used in the raster data. For example, a 16 bits pixel value can be decoded either as a signed or unsigned short integer value. Check the range of values for the list of authorised raster pixel values.

Note : for developers check the Tiff 6.0 documentation for additional information about data types

Example :
 
<Raster_Encoding>
  <NBITS>16</NBITS>
  <BYTEORDER>M</BYTEORDER>
  <DATA_TYPE>SHORT</DATA_TYPE>
  <SKIP_BYTES>512</SKIP_BYTES>
  <BANDS_LAYOUT>BIL</BANDS_LAYOUT>
</Raster_Encoding>

Constraint :

CM if NBITS <> 8

Note :CM means Conditional Mandatory, X means Excluded

Datatype : t_DATA_TYPE (based on Data_Types)
