The content of a world file describes an affine transformation which was used by the ESRI software to map from the rater world to the spatial world (what we usually call a grid to world transform).
Specifically a world file should be as follows: scalex shearx sheary scaley upperleftx upperlefty which translates into the following affine transformation. | : | | scalex shearx : translatex| | : | | sheary scaley : transaltey| |----------------------------| | 0 0 : 1 | | : |
Note that a world file usually takes as reference the centre of the pixel. @author Simone Giannecchini, GeoSolutions @source $URL$
