* Mapnik supports on-the-fly reprojection of raster layers (like it does for vector layers)
* However, for optimal performance it can be best to first (externally) warp an image to the Spatial Reference System (srs) used in the map (e.g. using the `gdalwarp` command from the gdal-utilities).

There are three types of raster datasources: *gdal*, *raster* or *pgraster*:
* The [[GDAL]] plugin is more convenient as it can read the file extents automatically and supports any GDAL-supported type of file
* The [[Raster]] driver only works with Tiled or Stripped GeoTIFF files and requires manually setting the file bounds, but can be faster.
* The [[PgRaster]] driver requires manually setting the band number to use as databand.
