WCS (OGC Web Coverage Service)ΒΆ

This plugin reads raster coverage data in a limited fashion based on the OGC Web Coverage Service specification. In osgEarth it is only really useful for fetching elevation grid data tiles. We support a subset of WCS 1.1.

Example usage:

<elevation driver="wcs">
    <url>http://server</url>
    <identifier>elevation</identifier>
    <format>image/GeoTIFF<format>
</elevation>

Properties:

url

Location of the WCS resource

identifier

WCS identifier (i.e., layer to read)

format

Format of the data to return (usually tif)

elevation_unit

Unit to use when interpreting elevation grid height values (defaults to m)

range_subset

WCS range subset string (see the WCS docs)
