Can Geotools load DEMs?

This question is hard to answer via Google. I want to know if someone familiar with GeoTools can let me know whether or not it can read in Digital Elevation Models? Their website does not list it, but it seems to be a normal, common raster data format.

Thanks in advance

  • I think that you may take a look to the gtopo30 plugin: http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/coverage/gtopo30.html http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/faq.html

    Which is also supported by GeoServer: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/gtopo30.html
