GDALWARP & GCPs

Frank,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Up to 3rd order polynomial warp is fine for my application.

I'll take a look at gdalwarptest.

I have a few more questions now:

1. How can GCPs be supplied? Is there a write up on it?
2. How many GCPs can be provided?
3. Does the image need to be raw or will it work with .tif too?
4. Earlier write up on gdalwarp mentioned that it supported
    nearest neighbour resampling only.  Does it
support bilinear
    or any other methods now?

Thanks,

Reinaldo
