WorldImage¶
Note
GeoServer does not come built-in with support for WorldImage; it must be installed through an extension. Proceed to Installing the WorldImage extension for installation details.
A world file is a plain text file used to georeference raster map images. This file (often with an extension of .jgw or .tfw) accompanies an associated image file (.jpg or .tif). Together, the world file and the corresponding image file is known as a WorldImage in GeoServer.
