Client API for an OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS).

The supported WCS version is 1.0.0. For more information about the specifications, please refer to http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs.

The TLcdWCSClient class is the main class through which all communication with a WCS service occurs. It provides the low-level functionality to initialize a connection, to create and send requests, and to interpret the responses. It can also be used to explore the capabilities of a WCS.

To retrieve and visualize coverage data from a WCS in an application, an ILcdModel has to be created that represents a data link or proxy towards the WCS. For this purpose, the class TLcdWCSProxyModelFactory is provided, which allows to create a WCS model based on a TLcdWCSClient instance. The resulting model contains one TLcdWCSProxy object, which will transparently obtain data from the WCS and cache it locally in memory. Additionally, TLcdWCSProxy provides various WCS-specific configuration options.
