Not at the moment. Three possible ways that involve code changes:
- to inject enough information in the "env" to do some math (but the math
would be in your face, directly in the SLD, and would have to involve
different expressions based on the layer original spatial reference
system, which could be mixed in a multi-layer scenario)
- roll out some way to specify that the transformation has to happen in
pixel space (requires some design discussion and an approved
proposal on the gt-devel ml)
- for the specific case of the offset one, implement the native support in
SE 1.1
You can either do it yourself or contract out the work to the organizations
providing commercial support
