[Gvsig_english] Re: recommended raster exchange format

since I think that gvSIG is also used by GRASS people [1] for mapping I continue
on this list.

Is there any help or hints one can use when deducting the raster type?
Sometimes FCell rasters are well exported with Float64 sometimes with Uint16.
How can I know which one to choose?



Thanks in advance,
