  org.geotools.data.coverage.grid.GridFormatFinder

public final class GridFormatFinder

extends java.lang.Object

Enable programs to find all available grid format implementations.

In order to be located by this finder datasources must provide an implementation of the GridFormatFactorySpi interface.

In addition to implementing this interface datasouces should have a services file:
META-INF/services/org.geotools.data.GridFormatFactorySpi

The file should contain a single line which gives the full name of the implementing class.

Example:
org.geotools.data.mytype.MyTypeDataStoreFacotry
