The raster pipeline takes a GridCoverage and turns it into a Graphics2D object.
see net.refractions.udig.render.features

Functional Requirements
  • Accept a GridCoverage as input
  • Style the input
  • Reproject the input
  • Output a Graphics2D object
Non-Functional Requirements
  • Perform deformations on the input
  • Give output within two seconds
Design Notes
  • When zooming in, the raster pipeline will attempt to give immediate feedback by performing a manual zoom on the selected area (within one second). It will then go and get the actual requested object (within three to five seconds).
  • When zooming out, it will return the image used before the zoom-in was performed, if one is available.
