WorldImage
==========

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.

Adding a WorldImage data store
------------------------------

By default, :guilabel:`WorldImage` will be an option in the :guilabel:`Raster Data Sources` list when creating a new data store.
