In preparation for a QGIS QgsRasterLite2Provider, I am building a small Database with 4 RasterCoverages of the same 2000x2000 Meter area.
<ul>
1656 : 1-BIT MONOCHROME, FAX4<br>
1811 : UINT8 RGB, JPEG<br>
1910 : UINT8 RGB, JPEG<br>
2010 : 1-BIT MONOCHROME, FAX4
</ul>
<hr>
From existing RL2 Databases the attempt was mad to extract this are from the 4 with RL2_WriteGeoTiff.<br>
For the UINT8 RGB, JPEG: no problem.<br>
For the 1-BIT MONOCHROME, FAX4: the images are blank.<br>
<hr>
All 4 are exported from 1 script<br>
- here the portion from the last image:

The shown gdal command for the same task (from the original tiff) returns correct results.
<hr>
Note on the side:<br>
When the extent is given and either
<ul>
image size <b>or</b>
resolution
</ul>
are given - the missing value should be calculated.<br>
In most cases, people will give the <b>extent</b> and <b>size</b><br>
<ul>they should not have to bother about the resolution</ul>
If no resolution or size is given (i.e. values are 0):<br>
<ul>The original resolution should be taken to calculate the size<br>
as I have done with this script</ul>
This was a part of my patch which was never looked into.
