[udig-users] Georeferencing

[Mathieu Baudier <mbaudier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I just discovered uDig and I'm currently testing it. (on Fedora 12 and
CentOS 5.4 x86_64)
I'm fairly familiar with QGIS but as a Java developer (with some
experience in RCP development), I am obviously very interested in
Udig.
I must say that I'm really impressed by its usability and performance.
Thanks a lot!

I am now looking for a feature similar to the Georeferencer plugin in
QGIS, that is:
- take an arbitrary image
- then with the help of the existing layers (typically vector layers),
map a few points of the image to their coordinates
- transform it into a raster layer (by way of generating the
appropriate world files etc.)

After searching a bit, I found out that it is not yet possible in uDig
and that you have to create the additional files manually (or with
QGIS...)
This seems to be confirmed by:
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Plugin+Ideas

Since most of the documents I have read were quite old, and that uDig
seems to expand quickly, I just wanted to double check with the list:
- whether this feature doesn't indeed exist
- whether there are currently some ongoing efforts to add it

Cheers,

Mathieu
