-Another interesting option would allow not loading tiles containing only nodata -Another interesting option would trim complete row or columns of nodata values at the borders of loading tiles

So I guess the default behaviour now will be to NOT pad. Do we need an option to pad? I would say yes...

comment:9 by Bborie Park, 12 years ago

But what reason is there to pad? Especially if the specs indicate that the width/height of the right and bottom edge tiles can be smaller?

comment:10 by pracine, 12 years ago

The code for padding is there already. It would be a waste to just throw it away. Some people might not mind about keeping the former raster extent and want a nice and clean raster coverage with all the tiles the same size. It make client read more simple. Mat wanted simplicity AND keeping the original extent. You can't have both. And "The reality is that none of us will ever know how PostGIS raster will be used" :-)

Actually, no. There was no code FOR padding tiles. I had to add code to my git repo to get no padding.

comment:12 by Bborie Park, 12 years ago

As a followup, there IS code in ST_Tile though that made sure to support padding when generating tiles.

comment:13 by Bborie Park, 12 years ago

Gah. I'm tired of this. I'll add a -P flag indicating that tiles should be padded if needed.
