<title>WKT Raster Reference</title>
<para>The functions given below are the ones which a user of WKT Raster is
likely to need and which are currently available in WKT Raster. There are other functions which are required support
functions to the raster objects which are not of use to a general
user.</para>
<para>WKT Raster is a sub-project of PostGIS that introduces a new type called <varname>raster</varname> for storing and analyzing raster data.
In order to use these functions, you need PostGIS 1.4 above installed in your database as well as wktraster compiled and the rtpostgis.sql loaded in your database.
This will change later once the two projects are fully integrated.</para>
<para>For more information about WKT Raster, please refer to <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/WKTRaster">PostGIS WKT Raster Home Page</ulink>.</para>
<para>For the examples in this reference we will be using a raster table of dummy rasters - Formed with the following code </para>

<title>Description</title>
<para>Adds a raster column to an existing table and also generates constraints on the new column. Currently only constrains the <varname>SRID</varname>.
The <varname>schema_name</varname> is the name of the table schema (unused
for pre-schema PostgreSQL installations). The <varname>srid</varname>
must be an integer value reference to an entry in the SPATIAL_REF_SYS
table. The <varname>pixel_types</varname> must be an array of pixel types as described in <xref linkend="RT_ST_BandPixelType" />, one for each band.
An error is thrown if the schemaname doesn't exist
(or not visible in the current search_path) or the specified SRID,
pixel types are invalid.</para>
<para><varname>gdal2wktraster.py</varname> loader uses this function to register raster tables</para>
<note>
<para>Views and derivatively created spatial tables will need to be registered in raster_columns manually,
since AddRasterColumn also adds a raster column which is not needed when you already have a raster column.

<title>Description</title>
<para>This is a set-returning function (SRF). It returns a set of
geomval rows, formed by a geometry (geom) and a pixel band value (val).
Each polygon is the union of all pixels for that band that have the same pixel value denoted by val.</para>
<para>ST_DumpAsPolygon is useful for polygonizing rasters. It is the
reverse of a GROUP BY in that it creates new rows. For example it
can be used to expand a single raster into multiple POLYGONS/MULTIPOLYGONS.</para>
<para>Availability: Requires GDAL 1.7 or higher.</para>
<note><para>If there is a no data value set for a band, pixels with that value will not be returned.</para></note>
