Support of resampling methods for the display of the raster data
(bilinear,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos). Gdal supports these, but QGIS
does not
use them.
QGIS currently only supports nearest, as far as I know, which
results in
very ugly display. It is the main reason I am still also using UMN
mapserver
next to QGIS server.
Ugly? Interpolation of rasters at low resolution looks even more
ugly
to me. At least the 'nearest' algorithm, showing grid cells as cells,
is honest to the data, unlike interpolation algorithms which don't
have statistical weight behind them.... Anyway, your mileage may vary
:)
it really depends on the nature of the raster. color-table based
rasters or 1bit rasters cannot be resampled of course - but the display
quality of scanned rgb maps, aerial images or 8bit grayscale maps would
benefit.
