An alternative solution is to write from scratch the routines for

Again I could try to do it but I would like to receive some sign of
interest in this feature from GDAL developers before starting to code.

Antonio,

I am reasonably willing to incorporate improvements into this driver
if you submit them via ticket as diffs against trunk.

The incidence angles are stored in a small grid at the same size as
the GCP´s, (order of 100 elements), which does not fit very nicely
into the GDAL datamodel - it would probably have to be stored as a
list of metadata strings.

Best regards from Knut-Frode


Yes, it is indeed a problem. My feeling is that the currant trend is
keeping metadata as flat and simple as possible.

Note, if there is metadata that seems pretty bulky to put in the default
metadata domain, it may make sense to put it in a special metadata
domain.  That way it isn't always showing up in gdalinfo reports, and
doesn't get carried along into other formats unnecessarily.

Best regards,
