Hey Barry,

I can confirm there are a whole slew of issues I haven't begun to think through! ;)

In context of a raster pixel, integers shouldn't be an issue. Can a raster pixel even have a NaN value? A nodata IS a value. I don't even know. Is this a chunk of code I'd encourage everyone to use? Definitely not.

Java has a floating point modulus operator. I am betting the Double or
Float class java api javadoc might discuss implementation notes.

Thanks for the idea Dan. Building on that, I added it upstream to the
MuParser source. Now I have it in libmuparser as well:

./muparser-2.3.5/include/muParserTemplateMagic.h
     static T Mod(T pixel, T div) { return lround(pixel) -
((lround(pixel) / lround(div)) * lround(div)); }

./muparser-2.3.5/src/muParser.cpp
     DefineFun(_T("mod"), MathImpl<value_type>::Mod);

After rebuild, leads to:

gdal raster calc \
     --input "p=input.tif" \
     --calc="mod(p[1], 50) == 0 ? p[1] : 255" \
     --ot=Byte \
     --output="output.tif" --co COMPRESS=DEFLATE --overwrite --progress

Ideally, though, having a mod function in GDAL itself would be awesome.

It's fairly straightforward to define functions in C++ and register them
with muparser. You can see how we do this with "isnan" and "isnodata" here:

I don't think we want too many custom functions, but adding "mod" seems
like a good idea.

     Greetings!

     I've been unable to find a modulo operator in CLI calc. It's not in the
     muparser functions or appear to be in the forth-coming 3.12 C pixel
     functions.

     This has been working with muparser, but it's messy every time you need
     a simple modulo. pixel is real or int, div is int:

     rint(pixel) - (rint(rint(pixel) / div) * div)

     Am I missing something? If not, consider this a feature request! :)

     Thanks!
     Scott
