Quite likely, the GUI controls are not using the plugin system to get a list of the available formats... patches welcomed, if anyone still cares about WCS 1.0! > In which cases GML can be chosen as an output format of a WCS layer? > I'm going to venture and say, almost never? The format is text based and extracting anything but the smallest set of pixels would result in a very large output. I can think of two legit use cases (everybody feel free to add more): - debugging purposes, since one can read the values of the pixels in clear text, along with bounds and the like - "bbox based raster GetFeatureInfo", getting all values in a given bbox for a tabular display in a client Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
