- <refpurpose>Returns the union of a set of raster tiles into a single raster composed of 1 band. If no band is specified for unioning, band num 1 is assumed. The resulting raster's extent is the extent of the whole set. In the case of intersection, the resulting value is defined by p_expression which is one of the following: LAST - the default when none is specified, MEAN, SUM, FIRST </refpurpose>
