In large part, widgets for raster datasources reuse the same code implemented for quadbin tilesets (#50). To accomplish this, we pre-process each raster tile, creating a 'FeatureData' key/value object for each pixel in the raster, if not excluded by the spatial filter. Creating "an object per pixel" is far from ideal, and keeping a binary representation throughout widget calculations would greatly improve performance. However, I think it's better to keep the code aligned with quadbin tilesets right now — ideally any performance optimizations would benefit both. Use of web workers should prevent calculations from dragging down the web application, even if the calculations themselves are inefficient.
Changes:
tileFeaturesRaster()
function, doing the heavy lifting of extracting feature data for calculations from rasters
