> The following method has been added in the {{GridCoverage}} class in the development branch:
> {code:java}
> public double[] evaluate(final DirectPosition point, double[] buffer) throws CannotEvaluateException;
> {code}
> However this method is inefficient if invoked for more than one point (which is a typical scenario). It may trig many readings of small areas, construct many times the same {{CoordinateOperation}}, _etc._ Furthermore it does not allow users to control the interpolatipn method.
> An alternative approach could be to define a separated {{Evaluator}} class with methods for setting the interpolation types among other. All coordinates to evaluate could be specified in advance, allowing {{Evaluator}} to perform only one larger read operation instead than many small operations.
> We may keep {{GridCoverage.evaluate}} as a convenience method when there is really only one point to evaluate. But we would need to clarify at least the policy regarding interpolation method.
