I am working on a wiki page (by no means complete) which explains some of this
- for the present development version
As apposed to the alpha-version, there is now a 2 step approach:
- first you load a style into the Database
-- SE_RegisterRasterStyle
(with a SE_ReloadRasterStyle to UPDATE that style (i.e. reloading the xml file) when it has been changed)
- then you tell the raster_coverage to use that style
(it is only a reference to the loaded Style)
-- SE_RegisterRasterStyledLayer
In this way the Style needs to be loaded into the Database only ONCE
- but can be used multiple times
Any UPDATE of that Style (SE_ReloadRasterStyle)
- will take effect for all raster_coverage using that Style
This, together with the distinguishing between 'Raster' and 'Vector' Styles, is one of the MAJOR differences
- between the present developer version and the alpha-api
